buffer called "ifname" given in function rtnl_dev_get
is always valid when called by setlink/newlink,
but contains only empty string when IFLA_IFNAME is not given. So
IFLA_ALT_IFNAME is always ignored

This patch fixes rtnl_dev_get function with a remove of ifname argument,
and move ifname copy in do_setlink when required

Changes in v2:
 * Remove ifname argument in rtnl_dev_get/do_setlink
   functions (simplify code)

Fixes: 76c9ac0ee878 ("net: rtnetlink: add possibility to use alternative names as message handle")

This part depends on your other change, right? Do you care about this
getting into stable? Otherwise we can downgrade it from a fix to -next
and merge after your other patch. It never worked so we can go either
way on it being a fix. Actually leaning slightly towards it _not_ being
a fix.

How about we pass tb and extract IFLA_IFNAME and IFLA_ALT_IFNAME inside
rtnl_dev_get()? All callers seem to pass the same args now.

I don't really care about getting this into stable, so I will resubmit 
for net-next when opened.
Should I drop "Fixes" tag? Alternatives ifname feature never worked for 
setlink/newlink, but 76c9ac0ee878 claimed it was.

Thanks

You are right, it's a good idea for the v3

Yup! No fixes tag if it's going in to net-next.

I wonder what the story was there. I think it "works" in that ip link
accept altnames, but IIUC that's because it does a get first and
resolves the ifindex.
