6.5-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 8e15aee621618a3ee3abecaf1fd8c1428098b7ef upstream. The altname nodes are currently not moved to the new netns when netdevice itself moves: [ ~]# ip netns add test [ ~]# ip -netns test link add name eth0 type dummy [ ~]# ip -netns test link property add dev eth0 altname some-name [ ~]# ip -netns test link show dev some-name 2: eth0: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 1e:67:ed:19:3d:24 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff altname some-name [ ~]# ip -netns test link set dev eth0 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 altname some-name [ ~]# ip li show dev some-name Device "some-name" does not exist. Remove them from the hash table when device is unlisted and add back when listed again.
