Linux kernel source tree

Currently, nla_put_iflink() doesn't put the IFLA_LINK attribute when
iflink == ifindex.
In some cases, a device can be created in a different netns with the
same ifindex as its parent. That device will not dump its IFLA_LINK
attribute, which can confuse some userspace software that expects it.
For example, if the last ifindex created in init_net and foo are both
8, these commands will trigger the issue:
ip link add parent type dummy # ifindex 9
ip link add link parent netns foo type macvlan # ifindex 9 in ns foo
So, in case a device puts the IFLA_LINK_NETNSID attribute in a dump,
always put the IFLA_LINK attribute as well.
Thanks to Dan Winship for analyzing the original OpenShift bug down to
the missing netlink attribute.

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.
