Currently the IP address event handlers bail out when the event is related to a netdevice that is a bridge port or a member of a LAG. In order to create a RIF when a bridged or LAG'd port is unenslaved, these event handlers will be replayed. However, at the point in time when the NETDEV_CHANGEUPPER event is delivered, informing of the loss of enslavement, the port is still formally enslaved. In order for the operation to have any effect, these handlers need an extra parameter to indicate that the check for bridge or LAG membership should not be done. In this patch, add an argument "nomaster" to several event handlers. Signed-off-by: Petr Machata <petrm@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by: Danielle Ratson <danieller@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
