[PATCH net v4 0/2] rtnetlink: allow to enslave with one msg an up interface

[PATCH net v4 0/2] rtnetlink: allow to enslave with one msg an up interface

[Nicolas Dichtel]

The first patch fixes a regression, introduced in linux v6.1, by reverting
a patch. The second patch adds a test to verify this API.

v3 -> v4:
 - replace patch #1 by a revert of the original patch
 - patch #2: keep only one test

v2 -> v3:
 - reword a failure message in patch #2

v1 -> v2:
 - add the #2 patch

[PATCH net v4 1/2] Revert "net: rtnetlink: Enslave device before bringing it up"

[Nicolas Dichtel]

This reverts commit a4abfa627c3865c37e036bccb681619a50d3d93c.

The patch broke:
> ip link set dummy0 up
> ip link set dummy0 master bond0 down

This last command is useful to be able to enslave an interface with only
one netlink message.

After discussion, there is no good reason to support:
> ip link set dummy0 down
> ip link set dummy0 master bond0 up
because the bond interface already set the slave up when it is up.

Hi Nicolas,

FYI, the selftests/net/lib.sh has been merged to net tree. Please remember
send a following up update to create the netns with setup_ns.

Thanks

It's just a reminder. Not pushing you. Sorry if this makes you feel disturbed.
