From 4c75431ac3520631f1d9e74aa88407e6374dbbc4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Alexander Y. Fomichev" Date: Mon, 25 Aug 2014 16:26:45 +0400 Subject: [PATCH] net: prevent of emerging cross-namespace symlinks Code manipulating sysfs symlinks on adjacent net_devices(s) currently doesn't take into account that devices potentially belong to different namespaces. This patch trying to fix an issue as follows: - check for net_ns before creating / deleting symlink. for now only netdev_adjacent_rename_links and __netdev_adjacent_dev_remove are affected, afaics __netdev_adjacent_dev_insert implies both net_devs belong to the same namespace. - Drop all existing symlinks to / from all adj_devs before switching namespace and recreate them just after.
