From c0178eec8884231a5ae0592b9fce827bccb77e86 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fernando Fernandez Mancera Date: Mon, 20 Oct 2025 15:55:33 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] net: hsr: prevent creation of HSR device with slaves from another netns HSR/PRP driver does not handle correctly having slaves/interlink devices in a different net namespace. Currently, it is possible to create a HSR link in a different net namespace than the slaves/interlink with the following command: ip link add hsr0 netns hsr-ns type hsr slave1 eth1 slave2 eth2 As there is no use-case on supporting this scenario, enforce that HSR device link matches netns defined by IFLA_LINK_NETNSID. The iproute2 command mentioned above will throw the following error: Error: hsr: HSR slaves/interlink must be on the same net namespace than HSR link.
