[PATCH V2 2/3] tuntap: forbid calling TUNSETIFF when detached

From: Jason Wang <hidden>
Date: 2013-01-12 03:08:05
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: networking drivers, the rest, tun/tap driver · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds, Willem de Bruijn, Jason Wang

Michael points out that even after Stefan's fix the TUNSETIFF is still allowed
to create a new tap device. This because we only check tfile->tun but the
tfile->detached were introduced. Fix this by failing early in tun_set_iff() if
the file is detached. After this fix, there's no need to do the check again in
tun_set_iff(), so this patch removes it.
