From b37d428b24ad38034f56b614de05686ba151b614 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pavel Emelyanov Date: Tue, 26 Feb 2008 23:51:04 -0800 Subject: [INET]: Don't create tunnels with '%' in name. Four tunnel drivers (ip_gre, ipip, ip6_tunnel and sit) can receive a pre-defined name for a device from the userspace. Since these drivers call the register_netdevice() (rtnl_lock, is held), which does _not_ generate the device's name, this name may contain a '%' character. Not sure how bad is this to have a device with a '%' in its name, but all the other places either use the register_netdev(), which call the dev_alloc_name(), or explicitly call the dev_alloc_name() before registering, i.e. do not allow for such names. This had to be prior to the commit 34cc7b, but I forgot to number the patches and this one got lost, sorry. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov Signed-off-by: David S.
