Subject: [PATCH] rtnetlink: Add missing manual netlink notification in dev_change_net_namespaces
Date: Fri, 21 Oct 2011 09:24:20 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m1ty72l3d7.fsf_-_@fess.ebiederm.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CAChaegnHchLT0BV-_RaPT2-J3ZLin_U1x8X0KBi7ku1MArug1g@mail.gmail.com> (Renato Westphal's message of "Fri, 19 Aug 2011 11:38:33 -0300")


Renato Westphal noticed that since commit a2835763e130c343ace5320c20d33c281e7097b7
"rtnetlink: handle rtnl_link netlink notifications manually" was merged
we no longer send a netlink message when a networking device is moved
from one network namespace to another.

Fix this by adding the missing manual notification in dev_change_net_namespaces.

Since all network devices that are processed by dev_change_net_namspaces are
in the initialized state the complicated tests that guard the manual
rtmsg_ifinfo calls in rollback_registered and register_netdevice are
unnecessary and we can just perform a plain notification.
