rtnl_configure_link sets dev->rtnl_link_state to RTNL_LINK_INITIALIZED and unconditionally calls __dev_notify_flags to notify user-space of dev flags. current call sequence for rtnl_configure_link rtnetlink_newlink rtnl_link_ops->newlink rtnl_configure_link (unconditionally notifies userspace of default and new dev flags) If a newlink handler wants to call rtnl_configure_link early, we will end up with duplicate notifications to user-space. This patch fixes rtnl_configure_link to check rtnl_link_state and call __dev_notify_flags with gchanges = 0 if already RTNL_LINK_INITIALIZED. Later in the series, this patch will help the following sequence where a driver implementing newlink can call rtnl_configure_link to initialize the link early. makes the following call sequence work: rtnetlink_newlink rtnl_link_ops->newlink (vxlan) -> rtnl_configure_link (initializes link and notifies user-space of default dev flags) rtnl_configure_link (updates dev flags if requested by user ifm and notifies user-space of new dev flags) Signed-off-by: NRoopa Prabhu <roopa@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.
