Subject: ipv4: Send a netevent whenever multipath hash policy is changed
Patch-mainline: v4.15-rc1
Git-commit: 3ae6ec08292f01c6782d1a80be0b2cc675e0ecfc
References: bsc#1112374
Devices performing IPv4 forwarding need to update their multipath hash
policy whenever it is changed.
Inform these devices by generating a netevent.
