Subject: rtnetlink: fix link attribute validation with IFLA_GROUP
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ffa934f192c8381061242eb170419266ef229902;p=linux-beck.git

rtnetlink: fix link attribute validation with IFLA_GROUP

rtnl_group_changelink() is invoked by rtnl_newlink() before the link
attributes have been validated. Additionally the group changes are
performed even if NLM_F_CREATE is specified and a new link is
created, while more reasonable semantics would be to set the group
value on the newly created link.

Fix both problems by moving the rtnl_group_changelink() invocation
down to the handling of non-existant links without NLM_F_CREATE()
and add a dev_set_group() call to rtnl_create_link().
