out:
The ifindex doesn't have to be unique for multiple network namespaces on the same machine. $ ip netns add test1 $ ip -net test1 link add dummy1 type dummy $ ip netns add test2 $ ip -net test2 link add dummy2 type dummy $ ip -net test1 link show dev dummy1 6: dummy1: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 96:81:55:1e:dd:85 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff $ ip -net test2 link show dev dummy2 6: dummy2: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 5a:3c:af:35:07:c3 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff But the batman-adv code to walk through the various layers of virtual interfaces uses this assumption because dev_get_iflink handles it internally and doesn't return the actual netns of the iflink. And dev_get_iflink only documents the situation where ifindex == iflink for physical devices. But only checking for dev->netdev_ops->ndo_get_iflink is also not an option because ipoib_get_iflink implements it even when it sometimes returns an iflink != ifindex and sometimes iflink == ifindex. The caller must therefore make sure itself to check both netns' and iflink + ifindex for equality. Only when they are equal, an "physical" interface was detected which should stop the traversal. On the other hand, vxcan_get_iflink can also return 0 in case there was currently no valid peer.
