6.5-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 311cca40661f428b7aa114fb5af578cfdbe3e8b6 upstream. dev_get_valid_name() overwrites the netdev's name on success. This makes it hard to use in prepare-commit-like fashion, where we do validation first, and "commit" to the change later. Factor out a helper which lets us save the new name to a buffer. Use it to fix the problem of notification on netns move having incorrect name: 5: eth0: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default link/ether be:4d:58:f9:d5:40 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 6: eth1: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default link/ether 1e:4a:34:36:e3:cd brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff [ ~]# ip link set dev eth0 netns 1 name eth1 ip monitor inside netns: Deleted inet eth0 Deleted inet6 eth0 Deleted 5: eth1: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default link/ether be:4d:58:f9:d5:40 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff new-netnsid 0 new-ifindex 7 Name is reported as eth1 in old netns for ifindex 5, already renamed.
