From 2c1539597419df6dfeb8ed774d60198b5830b8f7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Erez Shitrit Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2015 16:34:34 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] IB/ipoib: Fix ndo_get_iflink Currently, iflink of the parent interface was always accessed, even when interface didn't have a parent and hence we crashed there. Handle the interface types properly: for a child interface, return the ifindex of the parent, for parent interface, return its ifindex. For child devices, make sure to set the parent pointer prior to invoking register_netdevice(), this allows the new ndo to be called by the stack immediately after the child device is registered.
