From 3d3ea5af5c0b382bc9d9aed378fd814fb5d4a011 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vlad Yasevich Date: Sat, 27 May 2017 10:14:34 -0400 Subject: rtnl: Add support for netdev event to link messages When netdev events happen, a rtnetlink_event() handler will send messages for every event in it's white list. These messages contain current information about a particular device, but they do not include the iformation about which event just happened. So, it is impossible to tell what just happend for these events. This patch adds a new extension to RTM_NEWLINK message called IFLA_EVENT that would have an encoding of event that triggered this message. This would allow the the message consumer to easily determine if it needs to perform certain actions. Signed-off-by: Vladislav Yasevich Acked-by: David Ahern Signed-off-by: David S.
