From edf947f10074fea27fdb1730524dca59355a1c40 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: stephen hemminger Date: Thu, 24 Mar 2011 13:24:01 +0000 Subject: bridge: notify applications if address of bridge device changes The mac address of the bridge device may be changed when a new interface is added to the bridge. If this happens, then the bridge needs to call the network notifiers to tickle any other systems that care. Since bridge can be a module, this also means exporting the notifier function.
