This is because alloc_netdev() initializes some fields in the net_device structure, and later init_dummy_netdev() memzero them all. This causes some problems as reported here: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240322082336.49f110cc@kernel.org/ Split the init_dummy_netdev() function in two. Create a new function called init_dummy_netdev_core() that does not memzero the net_device structure. Then have init_dummy_netdev() memzero-ing and calling init_dummy_netdev_core(), keeping the old behaviour. init_dummy_netdev_core() is the new function that could be called as an argument for alloc_netdev(). Also, create a helper to allocate and initialize dummy net devices, leveraging init_dummy_netdev_core() as the setup argument. This function basically simplify the allocation of dummy devices, by allocating and initializing it. Freeing the device continue to be done through free_netdev() Suggested-by: Jakub Kicinski Signed-off-by: Breno Leitao --- include/linux/netdevice.h | 3 +++ net/core/dev.c | 54 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------- 2 files changed, 39 insertions(+), 18 deletions(-) diff --git a/include/linux/netdevice.h b/include/linux/netdevice.h index 0c198620ac93..544767d218c0 100644 --- a/include/linux/netdevice.h +++ b/include/linux/netdevice.h @@ -4517,6 +4517,9 @@ static inline void netif_addr_unlock_bh(struct net_device *dev) void ether_setup(struct net_device *dev); +/* Allocate dummy net_device */ +struct net_device *alloc_netdev_dummy(int sizeof_priv); + /* Support for loadable net-drivers */ struct net_device *alloc_netdev_mqs(int sizeof_priv, const char *name, unsigned char name_assign_type, diff --git a/net/core/dev.c b/net/core/dev.c index 818699dea9d7..4d0109f2fe80 100644 --- a/net/core/dev.c +++ b/net/core/dev.c @@ -10412,25 +10412,12 @@ int register_netdevice(struct net_device *dev) } EXPORT_SYMBOL(register_netdevice); -/** - * init_dummy_netdev - init a dummy network device for NAPI - * @dev: device to init - * - * This takes a network device structure and initialize the minimum - * amount of fields so it can be used to schedule NAPI polls without - * registering a full blown interface.
