Message-ID: <20140513083945.062de6c3@nehalam.linuxnetplumber.net> Date: Tue, 13 May 2014 08:39:45 -0700 From: Stephen Hemminger <stephen@...workplumber.org> To: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@...ssion.com> Cc: netdev@...r.kernel.org Subject: Problem with iflink in netns There have been a couple of bugzilla reports already about cases where a macvlan or vlan is moved into another namespace. In these cases the parent device ifindex (iflink) is no longer valid. Normally it is not a big issue, until another device is created using the ifindex of the parent Does anyone have a suggested fix? Marking iflink as 0 won't work then the devices no longer appear as slaves. Another possibility would be to make block creation of device where ifindex matches existing iflink of other devices; but this would slow down device creation. The bugs come in as ip command bugs, but obviously the issue is in the kernel. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66691 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75911 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
