net: check for altname conflicts when changing netdev's netns
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
It's currently possible to create an altname conflicting
with an altname or real name of another device by creating
it in another netns and moving it over:

 [ ~]$ ip link add dev eth0 type dummy

 [ ~]$ ip netns add test
 [ ~]$ ip -netns test link add dev ethX netns test type dummy
 [ ~]$ ip -netns test link property add dev ethX altname eth0
 [ ~]$ ip -netns test link set dev ethX 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
 ...
 5: ethX: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
     link/ether 26:b7:28:78:38:0f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
     altname eth0

Create a macro for walking the altnames, this hopefully makes
it clearer that the list we walk contains only altnames.
Which is otherwise not entirely intuitive.
