Linux kernel source tree
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.

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.
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.
