net: ndo_fdb_add/del: Have drivers report whether they notified
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 parameter, bool *notified, to
ndo_fdb_add and ndo_fdb_del. The flag is primed to false, and if the callee
sends a notification on its own, it sets the flag to true, thus informing
the core that it should not generate another notification.
Patches #1 to #2 are concerned with the above.
In the remaining patches, #3 to #7, add a selftest. This takes place across
several patches. Many of the helpers we would like to use for the test are
in forwarding/lib.sh, whereas net/ is a more suitable place for the test,
so the libraries need to be massaged a bit first.
