bonding: add netlink attributes to slave link dev
If link is IFF_SLAVE, extend link dev netlink attributes to include slave attributes with new IFLA_SLAVE nest. Add netlink notification (RTM_NEWLINK) when slave status changes from backup to active, or visa-versa. Adds new ndo_get_slave op to net_device_ops to fill skb with IFLA_SLAVE attributes. Currently only used by bonding driver, but could be used by other aggregating devices with slaves. Signed-off-by: Scott Feldman <sfeldma@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
