Subject: [PATCH] netdev-linux: Let interface flag survive internal port setup
|
|
|
|
Due to a race condition when bringing up an internal port on Linux
|
|
some interface flags (e.g. IFF_MULTICAST) are falsely reset. This
|
|
happens because netlink events may be processed after the according
|
|
netdev has been brought up (which sets interface flags).
|
|
|
|
Fix this by reading the interface flags just before updating them
|
|
if they have not been updated by from the kernel yet.
