Subject: [PATCH net] rtnetlink: ndo_dflt_fdb_del() never works
Date: Thu, 30 May 2013 16:01:55 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1369951315-14742-1-git-send-email-alanr@unix.sh> (raw)
ndo_dflt_fdb_del is checking for a condition which is opposite that
which ndo_dflt_fdb_add enforces. ndo_dflt_fdb_add declares an error
if (ndm->ndm_state && !(ndm->ndm_state) & NUD_PERMANENT)) - that is, if the
entry is static. This is consistent with the failure error message.
On the other hand, ndo_dflt_del() declares an error
if (ndm_state & NUD_PERMANENT) - which is inconsistent with the add
precondition, and inconsistent with its failure message text.
As it is now, you can't delete any entry which add allows to be added -
so entry deletion always fails.
