From 6c015a2256801597fadcbc11d287774c9c512fa5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Bohac Date: Thu, 18 Mar 2021 04:42:53 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] net: check all name nodes in __dev_alloc_name __dev_alloc_name(), when supplied with a name containing '%d', will search for the first available device number to generate a unique device name. Since commit ff92741270bf8b6e78aa885f166b68c7a67ab13a ("net: introduce name_node struct to be used in hashlist") network devices may have alternate names. __dev_alloc_name() does take these alternate names into account, possibly generating a name that is already taken and failing with -ENFILE as a result. This demonstrates the bug: # rmmod dummy 2>/dev/null # ip link property add dev lo altname dummy0 # modprobe dummy numdummies=1 modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'dummy': Too many open files in system Instead of creating a device named dummy1, modprobe fails. Fix this by checking all the names in the d->name_node list, not just d->name.
