vxlan: fix default fdb entry netlink notify ordering during netdev create
Problem: In vxlan_newlink, a default fdb entry is added before register_netdev. The default fdb creation function also notifies user-space of the fdb entry on the vxlan device which user-space does not know about yet. (RTM_NEWNEIGH goes before RTM_NEWLINK for the same ifindex). This patch fixes the user-space netlink notification ordering issue with the following changes: - decouple fdb notify from fdb create. - Move fdb notify after register_netdev. - Call rtnl_configure_link in vxlan newlink handler to notify userspace about the newlink before fdb notify and hence avoiding the user-space race. Fixes: afbd8bae9c79 ("vxlan: add implicit fdb entry for default destination") Signed-off-by: Roopa Prabhu <roopa@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
