From 91e9c07bd635353d1a278bdb38dbb56ac371bcb8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Sun, 15 Nov 2009 23:30:24 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] net: Fix the rollback test in dev_change_name() net: Fix the rollback test in dev_change_name() In dev_change_name() an err variable is used for storing the original call_netdevice_notifiers() errno (negative) and testing for a rollback error later, but the test for non-zero is wrong, because the err might have positive value as well - from dev_alloc_name(). It means the rollback for a netdevice with a number > 0 will never happen. (The err test is reordered btw. to make it more readable.)
