From 59f997b088d26a774958cb7b17b0763cd82de7ec Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matteo Croce Date: Sat, 1 Dec 2018 00:26:27 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] macvlan: return correct error value A MAC address must be unique among all the macvlan devices with the same lower device. The only exception is the passthru [sic] mode, which shares the lower device address. When duplicate addresses are detected, EBUSY is returned when bringing the interface up: # ip link add macvlan0 link eth0 type macvlan # read addr Signed-off-by: David S.
