Commit ad2f99aedf8f ("net: bridge: move bridge ioctls out of .ndo_do_ioctl") changed the source of the argument copy in bridge's old_deviceless() from args[1] (user ptr to device name) to uarg (ptr to ioctl arguments) causing wrong device name to be used. Example (broken, bridge exists but is up): $ brctl delbr bridge bridge bridge doesn't exist; can't delete it Example (working): $ brctl delbr bridge bridge bridge is still up; can't delete it Fixes: ad2f99aedf8f ("net: bridge: move bridge ioctls out of .ndo_do_ioctl") Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@nvidia.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.
