[PATCH 4.17 41/66] vxlan: fix default fdb entry netlink notify ordering during netdev create

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

4.17-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Roopa Prabhu <roopa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit e99465b952861533d9ba748fdbecc96d9a36da3e ]

Problem:
In vxlan_newlink, a default fdb entry is added before register_netdev.
The default fdb creation function also notifies user-space of the
fdb entry on the vxlan device which user-space does not know about yet.
(RTM_NEWNEIGH goes before RTM_NEWLINK for the same ifindex).

This patch fixes the user-space netlink notification ordering issue
with the following changes:
- decouple fdb notify from fdb create.
- Move fdb notify after register_netdev.
- Call rtnl_configure_link in vxlan newlink handler to notify
userspace about the newlink before fdb notify and
hence avoiding the user-space race.

Fixes: afbd8bae9c79 ("vxlan: add implicit fdb entry for default destination")
