From: Roopa Prabhu <ro...@cumulusnetworks.com> NDA_NH_ID represents a remote ip or a group of remote ips. It allows use of nexthop groups in lieu of a remote ip or a list of remote ips supported by the fdb api.
Current code ignores the other remote ip attrs when NDA_NH_ID is specified. In the spirit of strict checking, This commit adds a check to explicitly return an error on incorrect usage. Fixes: 1274e1cc4226 ("vxlan: ecmp support for mac fdb entries") Signed-off-by: Roopa Prabhu <ro...@cumulusnetworks.com> --- Note: extack support for this is a bit intrusive to be included in this patch. The function already does not support extack for the other errors. ndo_fdb_add and ndo_fdb_del handlers use this function and ndo_fdb_del does not support extack. I can send a separate patch covering extack for these add/del paths. drivers/net/vxlan.c | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/net/vxlan.c b/drivers/net/vxlan.c index a0015cd..fe606c6 100644 --- a/drivers/net/vxlan.c +++ b/drivers/net/vxlan.c @@ -1196,6 +1196,10 @@ static int vxlan_fdb_parse(struct nlattr *tb[], struct vxlan_dev *vxlan, struct net *net = dev_net(vxlan->dev); int err; + if (tb[NDA_NH_ID] && (tb[NDA_DST] || tb[NDA_VNI] || tb[NDA_IFINDEX] || + tb[NDA_PORT])) + return -EINVAL; + if (tb[NDA_DST]) { err = vxlan_nla_get_addr(ip, tb[NDA_DST]); if (err) -- 2.1.4
