Xin Long b0ad3c1790 rtnetlink: call validate_linkmsg in rtnl_create_link validate_linkmsg() was introduced by commit `1840bb13c2` ("[RTNL]: Validate hardware and broadcast address attribute for RTM_NEWLINK") to validate tb[IFLA_ADDRESS/BROADCAST] for existing links. The same check should also be done for newly created links. This patch adds validate_linkmsg() call in rtnl_create_link(), to avoid the invalid address set when creating some devices like: # ip link add dummy0 type dummy # ip link add link dummy0 name mac0 address 01:02 type macsec Fixes: `0e06877c6f` ("[RTNETLINK]: rtnl_link: allow specifying initial device address") Signed-off-by: Xin Long <lucien.xin@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Simon Horman <simon.horman@corigine.com> Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>		2023-06-01 09:59:43 -07:00

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
