Merge branch 'vxlan-fix-default-fdb-entry-user-space-notify-ordering-race'



Roopa Prabhu says:

====================
vxlan: fix default fdb entry user-space notify ordering/race

Problem:
In vxlan_newlink, a default fdb entry is added before register_netdev.
The default fdb creation function notifies user-space of the
fdb entry on the vxlan device which user-space does not know about yet.
(RTM_NEWNEIGH goes before RTM_NEWLINK for the same ifindex).

This series fixes the user-space netlink notification ordering issue
with the following changes:
- decouple fdb notify from fdb create.
- Move fdb notify after register_netdev.
- modify rtnl_configure_link to allow configuring a link early.
- Call rtnl_configure_link in vxlan newlink handler to notify
userspace about the newlink before fdb notify and
hence avoiding the user-space race.
====================

Fixes: afbd8bae ("vxlan: add implicit fdb entry for default destination")
