Subject: [PATCH net-next] hv_netvsc: fix bogus ifalias on network device
Date: Wed, 23 May 2018 18:02:00 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180524010200.11722-1-sthemmin@microsoft.com> (raw)
If the guest network adapter is not configured with DeviceNaming
enabled on the host, then the query for friendly name will return
success but with a zero length name. Which then leads to a garbage value
(stack contents) for ifalias.
Fix is simple, just don't set name if host doesn't return it.
Fixes: 0fe554a46a0f ("hv_netvsc: propogate Hyper-V friendly name into interface alias")
