From e41d162f727a376f351b74ecf2586a988f7a3fa2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicolas Dichtel Date: Mon, 26 Jan 2015 22:28:13 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] caif: remove wrong dev_net_set() call MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit commit 8997c27ec41127bf57421cc0205413d525421ddc upstream. src_net points to the netns where the netlink message has been received. This netns may be different from the netns where the interface is created (because the user may add IFLA_NET_NS_[PID|FD]). In this case, src_net is the link netns. It seems wrong to override the netns in the newlink() handler because if it was not already src_net, it means that the user explicitly asks to create the netdevice in another netns.
