From 56a49d7048703f5ffdb84d3a0ee034108fba6850 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roopa Prabhu Date: Wed, 12 Sep 2018 13:21:48 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] net: rtnl_configure_link: fix dev flags changes arg to __dev_notify_flags This fix addresses https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=201071 Commit 5025f7f7d506 wrongly relied on __dev_change_flags to notify users of dev flag changes in the case when dev->rtnl_link_state = RTNL_LINK_INITIALIZED. Fix it by indicating flag changes explicitly to __dev_notify_flags.
