    Subject[PATCH 4.5 066/124] ip6_tunnel: set rtnl_link_ops before calling register_netdevice
    Date
    4.5-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

    ------------------

    From: Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo <cascardo@redhat.com>

    [ Upstream commit b6ee376cb0b7fb4e7e07d6cd248bd40436fb9ba6 ]

    When creating an ip6tnl tunnel with ip tunnel, rtnl_link_ops is not set
    before ip6_tnl_create2 is called. When register_netdevice is called, there
    is no linkinfo attribute in the NEWLINK message because of that.

    Setting rtnl_link_ops before calling register_netdevice fixes that.

    Fixes: 0b112457229d ("ip6tnl: add support of link creation via rtnl")
