From ed2a80ab7b76f11af0b2c6255709c4ebf164b667 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicolas Dichtel Date: Wed, 13 May 2015 14:19:42 +0200 Subject: rtnl/bond: don't send rtnl msg for unregistered iface Before the patch, the command 'ip link add bond2 type bond mode 802.3ad' causes the kernel to send a rtnl message for the bond2 interface, with an ifindex 0. 'ip monitor' shows: 0: bond2: mtu 1500 state DOWN group default link/ether 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 9: bond2@NONE: mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default link/ether ea:3e:1f:53:92:7b brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff [snip] The patch fixes the spotted bug by checking in bond driver if the interface is registered before calling the notifier chain. It also adds a check in rtmsg_ifinfo() to prevent this kind of bug in the future.
