commit 7663d522099ecc464512164e660bc771b2ff7b64 upstream.
It's currently possible to create an altname conflicting with an altname or real name of another device by creating it in another netns and moving it over:
[ ~]$ ip link add dev eth0 type dummy
[ ~]$ ip netns add test [ ~]$ ip -netns test link add dev ethX netns test type dummy [ ~]$ ip -netns test link property add dev ethX altname eth0 [ ~]$ ip -netns test link set dev ethX netns 1
[ ~]$ ip link ... 3: eth0: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 02:40:88:62:ec:b8 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff ... 5: ethX: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 26:b7:28:78:38:0f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff altname eth0
Create a macro for walking the altnames, this hopefully makes it clearer that the list we walk contains only altnames. Which is otherwise not entirely intuitive.
