I’ll leave this up to the maintainers to judge. > Signed-off-by: Jun Gu <jun.gu@easystack.cn> > --- > net/openvswitch/vport-netdev.c | 2 +- > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) > > diff --git a/net/openvswitch/vport-netdev.c b/net/openvswitch/vport-netdev.c > index 903537a5da22..de8977d7f329 100644 > --- a/net/openvswitch/vport-netdev.c > +++ b/net/openvswitch/vport-netdev.c > @@ -78,7 +78,7 @@ struct vport *ovs_netdev_link(struct vport *vport, const char *name) > int err; > > vport->dev = dev_get_by_name(ovs_dp_get_net(vport->dp), name); I was eluding to a comment here, something like: /* Ensure that the device exists and that the provided * name is not one of its aliases. */ > - if (!vport->dev) { > + if (!vport->dev) || strcmp(name, ovs_vport_name(vport)) { > err = -ENODEV; > goto error_free_vport; > } > -- > 2.25.1

Check vport net device name to avoid the name that be used to query is inconsistent the retured name. Consider net device supports alias, the alias can be set to interface table in ovs userspace. Consider the following process: - set a net device alias to interface table. - ovs userspace run OVS_VPORT_CMD_NEW cmd to kernel, kernel will use net device alias to query net device by dev_get_by_name, but the net device name that return is inconsistent the name used to query. - the returned net device name is saved a hash table. - ovs userspace found that the name saved to interface table is inconsistent the name saved kernel hash table, it will run OVS_VPORT_CMD_DEL cmd to kernel and remove vport. ovs userspace will run OVS_VPORT_CMD_NEW and OVS_VPORT_CMD_DEL cmd repeatedly. So the patch will check vport net device name from dev_get_by_name to avoid the above issue.
