Subject: [PATCH net] Revert "rtnetlink: Do not generate notifications for CHANGEADDR event"
Date: Wed, 19 Jul 2017 10:22:40 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1500484960-4967-1-git-send-email-dsahern@gmail.com> (raw)

This reverts commit cd8966e75ed3c6b41a37047a904617bc44fa481f.

The duplicate CHANGEADDR event message is sent regardless of link
status whereas the setlink changes only generate a notification when
the link is up. Not sending a notification when the link is down breaks
dhcpcd which only processes hwaddr changes when the link is down.

Fixes reported regression:
