[PATCH 4.13 09/44] tun: call dev_get_valid_name() before register_netdevice()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

4.13-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Cong Wang <xiyou.wangcong@gmail.com>


[ Upstream commit 0ad646c81b2182f7fa67ec0c8c825e0ee165696d ]

register_netdevice() could fail early when we have an invalid
dev name, in which case ->ndo_uninit() is not called. For tun
device, this is a problem because a timer etc. are already
initialized and it expects ->ndo_uninit() to clean them up.

We could move these initializations into a ->ndo_init() so
that register_netdevice() knows better, however this is still
complicated due to the logic in tun_detach().

Therefore, I choose to just call dev_get_valid_name() before
register_netdevice(), which is quicker and much easier to audit.
And for this specific case, it is already enough.
