[ Upstream commit f534f6581ec084fe94d6759f7672bd009794b07e ] veth and vxcan need to make sure the ifindexes of the peer are not negative, core does not validate this. Using iproute2 with user-space-level checking removed: Before: # ./ip link add index 10 type veth peer index -1 # ip link show 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 2: enp1s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 52:54:00:74:b2:03 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 10: veth1@veth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,M-DOWN> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 8a:90:ff:57:6d:5d brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff -1: veth0@veth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,M-DOWN> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether ae:ed:18:e6:fa:7f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff Now: $ ./ip link add index 10 type veth peer index -1 Error: ifindex can't be negative. This problem surfaced in net-next because an explicit WARN() was added, the root cause is older. Fixes: e6f8f1a739b6 ("veth: Allow to create peer link with given ifindex") Fixes: a8f820a380a2 ("can: add Virtual CAN Tunnel driver (vxcan)") Reported-by: syzbot+5ba06978f34abb058571@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
