H A Ddev.cdiff d2237d35748e7f448a9c2d9dc6a85ef637466e24 Fri Oct 21 01:24:20 CDT 2011 Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> rtnetlink: Add missing manual netlink notification in dev_change_net_namespaces

Renato Westphal noticed that since commit a2835763e130c343ace5320c20d33c281e7097b7
"rtnetlink: handle rtnl_link netlink notifications manually" was merged
we no longer send a netlink message when a networking device is moved
from one network namespace to another.

Fix this by adding the missing manual notification in dev_change_net_namespaces.

Since all network devices that are processed by dev_change_net_namspaces are
in the initialized state the complicated tests that guard the manual
rtmsg_ifinfo calls in rollback_registered and register_netdevice are
unnecessary and we can just perform a plain notification.

In order to support specifying device flags during device creation,
we must be able to roll back device registration in case setting the
flags fails without sending any notifications related to the device
to userspace.

This patch changes rollback_registered_many() and register_netdevice()
to manually send netlink notifications for devices not handled by
rtnl_link and allows to defer notifications for devices handled by
rtnl_link until setup is complete.
