Jakub Kicinski 956db0a13b net: warn about attempts to register negative ifindex
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.
