Since the xarray changes we mix returning valid ifindex and negative errno in a single int returned from dev_index_reserve(). This depends on the fact that ifindexes can't be negative. Otherwise we may insert into the xarray and return a very large negative value. This in turn may break ERR_PTR(). OvS is susceptible to this problem and lacking validation (fix posted separately for net). Reject negative ifindex explicitly. Add a warning because the input validation is better handled by the caller.

README
Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
