The above commit (69197b2 rtnetlink: Reject negative ifindexes in RTM_NEWLINK)
appears to has been applied icorrectly, causing some regressions (like attaching
a VF to a running guest). The change needs to be made in rtnl_newlink(), not
rtnl_setlink().
I didn't check all other branches but at least 5.4 looks OK.
I believe 69197b2 needs to be reverted and instead this applied:
