3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Roopa Prabhu <ro...@cumulusnetworks.com> [ Upstream commit 59ccaaaa49b5b096cdc1f16706a9f931416b2332 ] Reported in: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92081 This patch avoids calling rtnl_notify if the device ndo_bridge_getlink handler does not return any bytes in the skb. Alternately, the skb->len check can be moved inside rtnl_notify. For the bridge vlan case described in 92081, there is also a fix needed in bridge driver to generate a proper notification. Will fix that in subsequent patch. v2: rebase patch on net tree Signed-off-by: Roopa Prabhu <ro...@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
