Subject: net: rtnetlink notify events for FDB NTF_SELF adds and deletes
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3ff661c38c8492a2859e39e0ea1e3b6d30e89bf5;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

net: rtnetlink notify events for FDB NTF_SELF adds and deletes

It is useful to be able to monitor for FDB events in user space.
This patch adds support to generate netlink events when a change
is made to a device supporting the FDB ops.

This brings embedded switches inline with the SW net/bridge which
triggers events on FDB updates as well.
