Subject: [RESEND PATCH] modprobe: install default configuration
Date: Fri, 1 Sep 2017 13:28:01 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170901112801.11703-1-lkundrak@v3.sk> (raw)
Some network devices have an awful habit of creating interfaces when loaded,
despite not asked for. Worse even, they do so while being autoloaded due to an
attempt to create a device via netlink:
# rmmod dummy
# ip link add dummy0 type dummy
RTNETLINK answers: File exists
The kernel maintainers seem opposed to fixing this in kernel (despite a similar
thing has been done with loop block devices) [1]. Let's fix this my overriding the
defaults from userspace.
