Subject: [Patch net] tun: call dev_get_valid_name() before register_netdevice()
Date: Fri, 13 Oct 2017 11:58:53 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171013185853.21353-1-xiyou.wangcong@gmail.com> (raw)
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.
Fixes: 96442e42429e ("tuntap: choose the txq based on rxq")
