From 34e02aa1fb0886d8e92ab00e3dc17d631487f92d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: stephen hemminger Date: Tue, 9 Oct 2012 20:35:53 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/1] vxlan: fix oops when give unknown ifindex If vxlan is created and the ifindex is passed; there are two cases which are incorrectly handled by the existing code. The ifindex could be zero (i.e. no device) or there could be no device with that ifindex. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S.
