[ Upstream commit84683b5b60] When a VNI is re-added with the same attributes (e.g. same group or no group), vxlan_vni_update() sends a spurious RTM_NEWTUNNEL notification even though nothing changed. The bug is that 'if (changed)' tests whether the pointer is non-NULL, not the bool value it points to. Since every caller passes a valid pointer, the condition is always true and the notification fires unconditionally. Fix by dereferencing the pointer: 'if (*changed)'. Reproducer: # ip link add vxlan100 type vxlan dstport 4789 local 10.0.0.1 \ nolearning external vnifilter # ip link set vxlan100 up # bridge monitor vni & # bridge vni add vni 1000 dev vxlan100 # bridge vni add vni 1000 dev vxlan100 # spurious notification Fixes:f9c4bb0b24("vxlan: vni filtering support on collect metadata device") Signed-off-by: Andy Roulin <aroulin@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by: Petr Machata <petrm@nvidia.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260602185138.253265-3-aroulin@nvidia.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
