If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: David Forster [ Upstream commit 93e246f783e6bd1bc64fdfbfe68b18161f69b28e ] vti6 interface is registered before the rtnl_link_ops block is attached. As a result the resulting RTM_NEWLINK is missing IFLA_INFO_KIND. Re-order attachment of rtnl_link_ops block to fix. Signed-off-by: Dave Forster Signed-off-by: David S.
