bridge: trigger RTM_NEWLINK when interface is modified by bridge ioctl
Currently, there is a difference in netlink events received when an interface is modified through bridge ioctl() or through netlink. This patch generates additional events when an interface is added to or removed from a bridge via ioctl(). When adding then removing an interface from a bridge with netlink, we get: 5: dummy1: <BROADCAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue master bridge0 state UNKNOWN group default link/ether 9e:da:60:ee:cf:c8 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 5: dummy1: <BROADCAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 master bridge0 state UNKNOWN link/ether 9e:da:60:ee:cf:c8 5: dummy1: <BROADCAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 master bridge0 state UNKNOWN link/ether 9e:da:60:ee:cf:c8 5: dummy1: <BROADCAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 master bridge0 state UNKNOWN link/ether 9e:da:60:ee:cf:c8 5: dummy1: <BROADCAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 master bridge0 state UNKNOWN link/ether 9e:da:60:ee:cf:c8 5: dummy1: <BROADCAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue master bridge0 state UNKNOWN group default link/ether 9e:da:60:ee:cf:c8 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 5: dummy1: <BROADCAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue master bridge0 state UNKNOWN group default link/ether 9e:da:60:ee:cf:c8 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 5: dummy1: <BROADCAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 master bridge0 state UNKNOWN link/ether 9e:da:60:ee:cf:c8 Deleted 5: dummy1: <BROADCAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 master bridge0 state UNKNOWN link/ether 9e:da:60:ee:cf:c8 5: dummy1: <BROADCAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default link/ether 9e:da:60:ee:cf:c8 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff When using ioctl(): 5: dummy1: <BROADCAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue master bridge0 state UNKNOWN group default link/ether 9e:da:60:ee:cf:c8 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 5: dummy1: <BROADCAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 master bridge0 state UNKNOWN link/ether 9e:da:60:ee:cf:c8 5: dummy1: <BROADCAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 master bridge0 state UNKNOWN link/ether 9e:da:60:ee:cf:c8 5: dummy1: <BROADCAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 master bridge0 state UNKNOWN link/ether 9e:da:60:ee:cf:c8 5: dummy1: <BROADCAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue master bridge0 state UNKNOWN group default link/ether 9e:da:60:ee:cf:c8 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 5: dummy1: <BROADCAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue master bridge0 state UNKNOWN group default link/ether 9e:da:60:ee:cf:c8 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 5: dummy1: <BROADCAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 master bridge0 state UNKNOWN link/ether 9e:da:60:ee:cf:c8 Deleted 5: dummy1: <BROADCAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 master bridge0 state UNKNOWN link/ether 9e:da:60:ee:cf:c8 5: dummy1: <BROADCAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default link/ether 9e:da:60:ee:cf:c8 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff Without this patch, the last netlink notification is not sent.
