This patcheset is to remove rtmsg_ifinfo called in bonding and bridge, the notifications can be handled by NETDEV_CHANGEUPPER and NETDEV_CHANGELOWERSTATE events in rtnetlink_event. It could also fix some redundant notifications from bonding and bridge. v1->v2: - post to net-next.git instead of net.git, for it's more like an improvement for bonding v2->v3: - add patch 1/4 to remove rtmsg_ifinfo called in add_del_if ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
