bridge: dont send notification when skb->len == 0 in rtnl_bridge_notify
Reported in: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92081 This patch avoids calling rtnl_notify if the device ndo_bridge_getlink handler does not return any bytes in the skb. Alternately, the skb->len check can be moved inside rtnl_notify. For the bridge vlan case described in 92081, there is also a fix needed in bridge driver to generate a proper notification. Will fix that in subsequent patch. v2: rebase patch on net tree Signed-off-by: Roopa Prabhu <roopa@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
