[PATCH iproute2 0/2] ip/tunnel: Do not free() answer on rtnl_talk() error, correct ip6gre

From: Serhey Popovych <hidden>
Date: 2017-12-20 07:57:15

In this series I present next set of improvements/fixes:

  1) If rtnl_talk(), called with answer != NULL fails it
     never returns with allocated answer: no need to
     initialize answer and free() it in the caller on error.

  2) Correct ip6gre print endpoint address printing with
     ll_addr_n2a(): endpoints are IPv6 addresses, not hex
     dump.

See individual patch description message for details.

Thanks,
Serhii

[PATCH iproute2 1/2] utils: ll_addr: Handle ARPHRD_IP6GRE in ll_addr_n2a()

From: Serhey Popovych <hidden>
Date: 2017-12-20 07:57:16

ll_addr_n2a() correctly prints tunnel endpoints for gre, ipip, sit
and ip6tnl, but not for ip6gre. Fix this by adding ARPHRD_IP6GRE to
IPv6 tunnel endpoing address conversion.

Before:
-------

$ ip link show
...
18: ip6tnl0: <NOARP> mtu 1452 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default
    link/tunnel6 :: brd ::
19: ip6gre0: <NOARP> mtu 1456 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default
    link/gre6 00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00 brd \
00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00

After:
------

$ ip link show
...
18: ip6tnl0: <NOARP> mtu 1452 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default
    link/tunnel6 :: brd ::
19: ip6gre0: <NOARP> mtu 1456 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default
    link/gre6 :: brd ::

[PATCH iproute2 2/2] ip/tunnel: No need to free answer after rtnl_talk() on error

From: Serhey Popovych <hidden>
Date: 2017-12-20 07:57:17

Since rtnl_talk() never returns with answer buffer allocated
on error we do not need to release it manually. After this
initializing answer with NULL before rtnl_talk() is useless.
