From 11bb28b4168d940f156b9752e8d12ca403cb0426 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Hutchings Date: Thu, 9 Sep 2010 05:21:16 +0100 Subject: tun: Don't add sysfs attributes to devices without sysfs directories This applies to 2.6.32 *only*. It has not been applied upstream since the limitation no longer exists. Prior to Linux 2.6.35, net devices outside the initial net namespace did not have sysfs directories. Attempting to add attributes to them will trigger a BUG(). Reported-and-tested-by: Russell Stuart Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Acked-by: David S.
