In a similar fashion to ndo_fdb_add, which was covered in the previous
patch, add the bool *notified argument to ndo_fdb_del. Callees that send a
notification on their own set the flag to true.

<content type='text'>
Currently when FDB entries are added to or deleted from a VXLAN netdevice,
the VXLAN driver emits one notification, including the VXLAN-specific
attributes. The core however always sends a notification as well, a generic
one. Thus two notifications are unnecessarily sent for these operations. A
similar situation comes up with bridge driver, which also emits
notifications on its own:

 # ip link add name vx type vxlan id 1000 dstport 4789
 # bridge monitor fdb &amp;
 [1] 1981693
 # bridge fdb add de:ad:be:ef:13:37 dev vx self dst 192.0.2.1
 de:ad:be:ef:13:37 dev vx dst 192.0.2.1 self permanent
 de:ad:be:ef:13:37 dev vx self permanent

In order to prevent this duplicity, add a paremeter to ndo_fdb_add,
bool *notified. The flag is primed to false, and if the callee sends a
notification on its own, it sets it to true, thus informing the core that
it should not generate another notification.

NETIF_F_LLTX can't be changed via Ethtool and is not a feature,
rather an attribute, very similar to IFF_NO_QUEUE (and hot).
Free one netdev_features_t bit and make it a "hot" private flag.

<title>netdevice: convert private flags &gt; BIT(31) to bitfields</title>

<content type='text'>
Make dev-&gt;priv_flags `u32` back and define bits higher than 31 as
bitfield booleans as per Jakub's suggestion. This simplifies code
which accesses these bits with no optimization loss (testb both
before/after), allows to not extend &amp;netdev_priv_flags each time,
but also scales better as bits &gt; 63 in the future would only add
a new u64 to the structure with no complications, comparing to
that extending ::priv_flags would require converting it to a bitmap.
Note that I picked `unsigned long :1` to not lose any potential
optimizations comparing to `bool :1` etc.

<title>net: Add struct kernel_ethtool_ts_info</title>

In prevision to add new UAPI for hwtstamp we will be limited to the struct
ethtool_ts_info that is currently passed in fixed binary format through the
ETHTOOL_GET_TS_INFO ethtool ioctl. It would be good if new kernel code
already started operating on an extensible kernel variant of that
structure, similar in concept to struct kernel_hwtstamp_config vs struct
hwtstamp_config.

Since struct ethtool_ts_info is in include/uapi/linux/ethtool.h, here
we introduce the kernel-only structure in include/linux/ethtool.h.
The manual copy is then made in the function called by ETHTOOL_GET_TS_INFO.

Simon reported that ndo_change_mtu() methods were never
updated to use WRITE_ONCE(dev-&gt;mtu, new_mtu) as hinted
in commit 501a90c94510 ("inet: protect against too small
mtu values.")

We read dev-&gt;mtu without holding RTNL in many places,
with READ_ONCE() annotations.

It is time to take care of ndo_change_mtu() methods
to use corresponding WRITE_ONCE()

The .parse_protocol hook function in the macvlan_header_ops structure is
not implemented. As a result, when the AF_PACKET family is used to send
packets, skb-&gt;protocol will be set to 0.
Macvlan is a device of type ARPHRD_ETHER (ether_setup). Therefore, use
eth_header_parse_protocol function to obtain the protocol.
