From: Jiri Pirko Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2015 12:01:22 +0000 (+0200) Subject: net: introduce pre-change upper device notifier X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=573c7ba006edbecff0714db651dd3602b9d0a6a0;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git net: introduce pre-change upper device notifier This newly introduced netdevice notifier is called before actual change upper happens. That provides a possibility for notifier handlers to know upper change will happen and react to it, including possibility to forbid the change. That is valuable for drivers which can check if the upper device linkage is supported and forbid that in case it is not. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S.
