From 77f9859837cbe262ef2aa12fc38d18458814c2ca Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: stephen hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Date: Fri, 30 Sep 2011 14:37:26 +0000 Subject: bridge: fix ordering of NEWLINK and NEWNEIGH events When port is added to a bridge, the old code would send the new neighbor netlink message before the subsequent new link message. This bug makes it difficult to use the monitoring API in an application. This code changes the ordering to add the forwarding entry after the port is setup. One of the error checks (for invalid address) is moved earlier in the process to avoid having to do unwind. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
