Hi Ben, some Debian/jessie systems were caught by the bug-report in [1]. This issue was recently fixed in an updated Debian kernel for v3.16.y. Will you include the patch "tun: allow positive return values on dev_get_valid_name() call" [2] in linux-stable-3.16.y upstream? This was a fix for "tun: call dev_get_valid_name() before register_netdevice()" [3]. Unfortunately, there is not a reference (usually "Fixes:" tag) for this in [2]. Not sure if this was documented in the meantime like [4] says. Thanks in advance. Regards, - Sedat - [1] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=897427 [2] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=5c25f65fd1e42685f7ccd80e0621829c105785d9 [3] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=0ad646c81b2182f7fa67ec0c8c825e0ee165696d [4] https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg462705.html

Yes, I will include all the same regression fixes in the next 3.16- stable update.
