Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/8] rtnetlink: Cleanup user notifications for netdev events

Vlad's recent patch to add the event type to rtnetlink notifications
points out a number of redundant or unnecessary notifications sent to
userspace for events that are essentially internal to the kernel. Trim
the list before the new IFLA attributes become part of the UAPI.

David Ahern (8):
  rtnetlink: Do not generate notifications for MTU events
  rtnetlink: Do not generate notification for UDP_TUNNEL_PUSH_INFO
  rtnetlink: Do not generate notifications for CHANGEADDR event
  rtnetlink: Do not generate notifications for POST_TYPE_CHANGE event
  rtnetlink: Remove NETDEV_CHANGEINFODATA netdev event
  rtnetlink: Do not generate notifications for PRECHANGEUPPER event
  rtnetlink: Do not generate notifications for NOTIFY_PEERS event
  rtnetlink: Do not generate notifications for CHANGELOWERSTATE event
