[PATCH net-next] hv_netvsc: fix bogus ifalias on network device
From: Stephen Hemminger <stephen@networkplumber.org>
Date: 2018-05-24 01:02:04
If the guest network adapter is not configured with DeviceNaming
enabled on the host, then the query for friendly name will return
success but with a zero length name. Which then leads to a garbage value
(stack contents) for ifalias.
Fix is simple, just don't set name if host doesn't return it.
Fixes: 0fe554a46a0f ("hv_netvsc: propogate Hyper-V friendly name into interface alias")
