That's because you skipped the first patch titled "Don't create tunnels with '%' in name.", which adds the dev_alloc_name() call and tosses the error paths a bit. Without this first patch, these four drivers become broken :( When user doesn't specify the name, the device's name will be e.g. "tunl%d", but not "tunl0" like he expects. > The ip_gre.c and ipip.c changes remove a "failed" label but > that can't be done in the current tree as there are other > existing references. > Yup :( this code was removed in that first patch... -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
