'ip tunnel add' uses the wrong interface name in its error output.
For example, if the requested interface already exists:
--
[jwm@boost:pts/8 ~> sudo ip tunnel add sit1 mode sit remote 10.10.10.11 local 10.10.10.10
add tunnel "sit0" failed: No buffer space available
--
ip/tunnel.c:tnl_add_ioctl() only uses the passed interface name on
SIOCCHGTUNNEL, not SIOCADDTUNNEL. Shouldn't it always use the passed
interface name, if present?
--
int tnl_add_ioctl(int cmd, const char *basedev, const char *name, void *p)
{
struct ifreq ifr;
int fd;
int err;
if (cmd == SIOCCHGTUNNEL && name[0])
strncpy(ifr.ifr_name, name, IFNAMSIZ);
else
strncpy(ifr.ifr_name, basedev, IFNAMSIZ);
[...]
err = ioctl(fd, cmd, &ifr);
if (err)
fprintf(stderr, "add tunnel \"%s\" failed: %s\n", ifr.ifr_name,
strerror(errno));
