[ Upstream commit6c015a2256] __dev_alloc_name(), when supplied with a name containing '%d', will search for the first available device number to generate a unique device name. Since commitff92741270("net: introduce name_node struct to be used in hashlist") network devices may have alternate names. __dev_alloc_name() does take these alternate names into account, possibly generating a name that is already taken and failing with -ENFILE as a result. This demonstrates the bug: # rmmod dummy 2>/dev/null # ip link property add dev lo altname dummy0 # modprobe dummy numdummies=1 modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'dummy': Too many open files in system Instead of creating a device named dummy1, modprobe fails. Fix this by checking all the names in the d->name_node list, not just d->name.

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.
