mainlining shenanigans
df52eab23d
Configuring generic network device parameters on tun will fail in
presence of IFLA_INFO_KIND attribute in IFLA_LINKINFO nested attribute
since tun_validate() always return failure.
This can be visualized with following ip-link(8) command sequences:
# ip link set dev tun0 group 100
# ip link set dev tun0 group 100 type tun
RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
with contrast to dummy and veth drivers:
# ip link set dev dummy0 group 100
# ip link set dev dummy0 type dummy
# ip link set dev veth0 group 100
# ip link set dev veth0 group 100 type veth
Fix by returning zero in tun_validate() when @data is NULL that is
always in case since rtnl_link_ops->maxtype is zero in tun driver.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
