Florent Fourcot 109f1fe215 rtnetlink: return ENODEV when ifname does not exist and group is given
[ Upstream commit ef2a7c9065 ]

When the interface does not exist, and a group is given, the given
parameters are being set to all interfaces of the given group. The given
IFNAME/ALT_IF_NAME are being ignored in that case.

That can be dangerous since a typo (or a deleted interface) can produce
weird side effects for caller:

Case 1:

 IFLA_IFNAME=valid_interface
 IFLA_GROUP=1
 MTU=1234

Case 1 will update MTU and group of the given interface "valid_interface".

Case 2:

 IFLA_IFNAME=doesnotexist
 IFLA_GROUP=1
 MTU=1234

Case 2 will update MTU of all interfaces in group 1. IFLA_IFNAME is
ignored in this case

This behaviour is not consistent and dangerous. In order to fix this issue,
we now return ENODEV when the given IFNAME does not exist.

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.
