veth and vxcan need to make sure the ifindexes of the peer
are not negative, core does not validate this.
Using iproute2 with user-space-level checking removed:
Before:
# ./ip link add index 10 type veth peer index -1
# ip link show
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: enp1s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether 52:54:00:74:b2:03 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
10: veth1@veth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,M-DOWN> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether 8a:90:ff:57:6d:5d brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
-1: veth0@veth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,M-DOWN> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether ae:ed:18:e6:fa:7f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
Now:
$ ./ip link add index 10 type veth peer index -1
Error: ifindex can't be negative.
This problem surfaced in net-next because an explicit WARN()
was added, the root cause is older.
Fixes: e6f8f1a739 ("veth: Allow to create peer link with given ifindex")
Fixes: a8f820a380 ("can: add Virtual CAN Tunnel driver (vxcan)")
