Petr Machata 4b42fbc6bd ndo_fdb_add: Add a parameter to report whether notification was sent
Currently when FDB entries are added to or deleted from a VXLAN netdevice,
the VXLAN driver emits one notification, including the VXLAN-specific
attributes. The core however always sends a notification as well, a generic
one. Thus two notifications are unnecessarily sent for these operations. A
similar situation comes up with bridge driver, which also emits
notifications on its own:

 # ip link add name vx type vxlan id 1000 dstport 4789
 # bridge monitor fdb &
 [1] 1981693
 # bridge fdb add de:ad:be:ef:13:37 dev vx self dst 192.0.2.1
 de:ad:be:ef:13:37 dev vx dst 192.0.2.1 self permanent
 de:ad:be:ef:13:37 dev vx self permanent

In order to prevent this duplicity, add a paremeter to ndo_fdb_add,
bool *notified. The flag is primed to false, and if the callee sends a
notification on its own, it sets it to true, thus informing the core that
it should not generate another notification.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
