Subject: [PATCH RFC] net: error on trying to add a duplicate ipip tunnel

After patch:
$ sudo ip tunnel add test1 mode ipip remote 1.2.3.4
$ sudo ip tunnel add test2 mode ipip remote 1.2.3.4
add tunnel "tunl0" failed: File exists

Before the patch, there would be no error and
"test2" (silently) not added.

Originally reported at http://bugs.debian.org/508450

The originally reported problem with sit tunnel seems
to have been resolved since then:
$ sudo ip tun add test3 mode sit
add tunnel "sit0" failed: No buffer space available

The problem still exists for (atleast) ipip tunnels though.

Maybe also sit tunnels should explicitly
use EEXISTS instead of ENOBUFS?
Maybe ipip tunnel code should be refactored
to be similar to sit tunnel addition code?
Which other tunnel types should be checked
for how they behave in similar situations?
Other comments?
