Subject: net 04/04: rtnetlink: support specifying device flags on device creation
Date: Fri, 26 Feb 2010 17:34:54 +0100 (MET) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100226163454.11434.26017.sendpatchset@x2.localnet> (raw)

commit e8469ed959c373c2ff9e6f488aa5a14971aebe1f
Author: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

net: rtnetlink: support specifying device flags on device creation
Support specifying the initial device flags when creating a device though
rtnl_link. Devices allocated by rtnl_create_link() are marked as INITIALIZING
in order to surpress netlink registration notifications. To complete setup,
rtnl_configure_link() must be called, which performs the device flag changes
and invokes the deferred notifiers if everything went well.
Two examples:
# add macvlan to eth0
#
$ ip link add link eth0 up allmulticast on type macvlan
[LINK]11: macvlan0@eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,ALLMULTI,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN
