[ Upstream commit feadc4b6cf42a53a8a93c918a569a0b7e62bd350 ]
Currently, nla_put_iflink() doesn't put the IFLA_LINK attribute when iflink == ifindex.
In some cases, a device can be created in a different netns with the same ifindex as its parent. That device will not dump its IFLA_LINK attribute, which can confuse some userspace software that expects it. For example, if the last ifindex created in init_net and foo are both 8, these commands will trigger the issue:
ip link add parent type dummy # ifindex 9 ip link add link parent netns foo type macvlan # ifindex 9 in ns foo
So, in case a device puts the IFLA_LINK_NETNSID attribute in a dump, always put the IFLA_LINK attribute as well.
Thanks to Dan Winship for analyzing the original OpenShift bug down to the missing netlink attribute.
