tun: impossible to deassert IFF_ONE_QUEUE or IFF_NO_PI
From: "Nathaniel Filardo" <[email protected]>
Taken from http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9806
The TUN/TAP driver only permits one-way transitions of IFF_NO_PI or
IFF_ONE_QUEUE during the lifetime of a tap/tun interface. Note that
tun_set_iff contains
541 if (ifr->ifr_flags & IFF_NO_PI)
542 tun->flags |= TUN_NO_PI;
543
544 if (ifr->ifr_flags & IFF_ONE_QUEUE)
545 tun->flags |= TUN_ONE_QUEUE;
This is easily fixed by adding else branches which clear these bits.
Steps to reproduce:
This is easily reproduced by setting an interface persistant using tunctl then
attempting to open it as IFF_TAP or IFF_TUN, without asserting the IFF_NO_PI
flag. The ioctl() will succeed and the ifr.flags word is not modified, but the
interface remains in IFF_NO_PI mode (as it was set by tunctl).
