From 7663d522099ecc464512164e660bc771b2ff7b64 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jakub Kicinski kuba@kernel.org Date: Tue, 17 Oct 2023 18:38:14 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] net: check for altname conflicts when changing netdev's netns
It's currently possible to create an altname conflicting with an altname or real name of another device by creating it in another netns and moving it over:
[ ~]$ ip link add dev eth0 type dummy
[ ~]$ ip netns add test [ ~]$ ip -netns test link add dev ethX netns test type dummy [ ~]$ ip -netns test link property add dev ethX altname eth0 [ ~]$ ip -netns test link set dev ethX netns 1
[ ~]$ ip link ... 3: eth0: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 02:40:88:62:ec:b8 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff ... 5: ethX: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 26:b7:28:78:38:0f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff altname eth0
Create a macro for walking the altnames, this hopefully makes it clearer that the list we walk contains only altnames. Which is otherwise not entirely intuitive.
