tun: impossible to deassert IFF_ONE_QUEUE or IFF_NO_PI
From: "Nathaniel Filardo" <nwfilardo@gmail.com> 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).
