Subject: [PATCH] vxcan: improve handling of missing peer name attribute
Date: Sat, 2 Dec 2017 18:48:52 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171202174852.9618-1-socketcan@hartkopp.net> (raw)
Picking up the patch from Serhey Popovych (commit 191cdb3822e5df6b3c8,
"veth: Be more robust on network device creation when no attributes").
When the peer name attribute is not provided the former implementation tries
to register the given device name twice ... which leads to -EEXIST.
If only one device name is given apply an automatic generated and valid name
for the peer.
