From 38790ccf7bd0e6eab78024ec381fd98d7c6a2782 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: vadimk Date: Sat, 30 Aug 2014 15:06:00 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] ip link: Remove unnecessary device checking The real checking is performed later in iplink_modify(..) func which checks device existence if NLM_F_CREATE flag is set. Also it fixes the case when impossible to add veth link which was caused by 9a02651a87 (ip: check for missing dev arg when doing VF rate) because these devices are not exist yet.
