+Subject: [PATCH 1/6] net: inform NETDEV_CHANGE callbacks which flags were
+ changed
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+In certain cases (like the follow up commit to arp.c) will need to
+check which flags actually changed to avoid excessive work.
+
+Ben Hutchings nicely worded why to put these transient flags to
+struct net_device for the time being:
+> It's inelegant to put transient data associated with an event in a
+> persistent data structure.  On the other hand, having every user cache
+> the old state is pretty awful as well.
+>
+> Really, netdev notifiers should be changed to accept a structure that
+> encapsulates the changes rather than just a pointer to the net_device.
+> But making such a change would be an enormous pain and error-prone
+> because notifier functions aren't type-safe.
+>
+> As an interim solution, I think either the general flags_changed or
+> old_flags would be preferable to defining extra transient flags.
