macvlan: return correct error value
A MAC address must be unique among all the macvlan devices with the same lower device. The only exception is the passthru [sic] mode, which shares the lower device address. When duplicate addresses are detected, EBUSY is returned when bringing the interface up: # ip link add macvlan0 link eth0 type macvlan # read addr </sys/class/net/eth0/address # ip link set macvlan0 address $addr # ip link set macvlan0 up RTNETLINK answers: Device or resource busy Use correct error code which is EADDRINUSE, and do the check also earlier, on address change: # ip link set macvlan0 address $addr RTNETLINK answers: Address already in use Signed-off-by: Matteo Croce <mcroce@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
