[linux-stable-3.16.y] tun: allow positive return values on dev_get_valid_name() call
Hi Ben,
some Debian/jessie systems were caught by the bug-report in [1].
This issue was recently fixed in an updated Debian kernel for v3.16.y.
Will you include the patch "tun: allow positive return values on
dev_get_valid_name() call" [2] in linux-stable-3.16.y upstream?
This was a fix for "tun: call dev_get_valid_name() before
register_netdevice()" [3].
Unfortunately, there is not a reference (usually "Fixes:" tag) for this in [2].
Not sure if this was documented in the meantime like [4] says.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
