Subject: netifd: Fix device ifindex overwrite when processing netlink event messages
X-Git-Url: http://git.archive.openwrt.org/?p=project%2Fnetifd.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=fe08cfd2bfb389f7c174e2dd1561ba4a381db213

netifd: Fix device ifindex overwrite when processing netlink event messages

When a device with the same name is deleted and created again in the kernel
the ifindex changes.
A race condition will occur when netlink event messages linked to the old device
are processed and will thus overwrite the correct ifindex of the new device.
Further make sure a valid ifindex is in place for both external and internal
devices when setting the state to enabled.
