[RFC PATCH net-next v3 21/21] ethtool: send netlink notifications about setting changes

From: Michal Kubecek
Date: Mon Feb 18 2019 - 13:23:16 EST


SET_SETTINGS notification message has the same format as response to
GET_SETTINGS request and is broadcasted on change of relevant fields. Info
mask can be used to limit the information passed to userspace.

Send the notification on changes performed via the legacy ioctl interface;
feature notifications are also sent whenever netdev_update_features() or
netdev_change_features() is called, even if the change was not performed
using the ethtool interface.
