Subject: [PATCH] netlink: Use correct interface index in NL_SET mode
Date: Tue, 27 Jun 2023 20:22:33 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230627102233.3114542-1-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> (raw)

nl_addr() and nl_route() take an 'op' selector which affects a number of
parameters to the netlink call.  Unfortunately when we introduced this
option a bug was introduced so that we always use the interface index for
the host side, rather than the one for the pasta namespace.

Really, the entire interface to nl_addr() and nl_route() is pretty bad:
it's tightly coupled with the use cases of its callers.  This is a minimal
fix which doesn't address that, but also doesn't make it significantly
worse.

Bugzilla: https://bugs.passt.top/show_bug.cgi?id=59
Fixes: 2fe046185634 ("netlink: Add functionality to copy routes from outer namespace")
Fixes: e89da3cf03b2 ("netlink: Add functionality to copy addresses from outer namespace")
