[PATCH net-next v3 1/2] dev: update __dev_notify_flags() to send rtnl msg

From: Nicolas Dichtel <hidden>
Date: 2013-09-25 10:02:57
Subsystem: networking drivers, networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

This patch only prepares the next one, there is no functional change.
Now, __dev_notify_flags() can also be used to notify flags changes via
rtnetlink.

Signed-off-by: Nicolas Dichtel <redacted>
---

v3: add patch #1
    use __dev_notify_flags() to notify rxflags (note that notifier chains are
    not called when flags IFF_PROMISC and IFF_ALLMULTI are changed)

v2: rework the patch to avoid double notification
