Re: [PATCH net-next v4] ipvlan: Initial check-in of the IPVLAN driver.

Hi Mahesh,

I found that deleting the last ipvlan device triggers WARN_ON() in
rtmsg_ifinfo().
ipvlan_nl_fillinfo() seems to return -EINVAL in that case.

rollback_registered_many() calls rtmsg_ifinfo() after calling ndo_uninit().
ndo_uninit() (ipvlan_uninit() -> ipvlan_port_destroy() ->
netdev_rx_handler_unregister()) sets rx_handler_data into NULL.
So, we cannot dereference "port" in ipvlan_nl_fillinfo().

Maybe "mode" should belong to struct ipvl_dev?
