Subject: [PATCH iproute2 1/5] iplink: Fix setting of -1 as ifindex
Date: Fri,  3 Oct 2014 08:55:14 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1412351718-22921-2-git-send-email-therbert@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1412351718-22921-1-git-send-email-therbert@google.com>

Commit 3c682146aeff157ec3540 ("iplink: forbid negative ifindex and
modifying ifindex") initializes index to -1 in iplink_modify. When
creating a link, req.i.ifi_index is then set to -1 if the link option is
not used. In the kernel this is then used to set dev->ifindex. For
dev->ifindex, zero is considered to be unset and -1 is treated as
a set index, so when a second tunnel is create the new device conflicts
with the old one (both have ifindex of -1) so -EBUSY is returned.

This patch set zero in req.i.ifi_index is index is unset (still -1).
