3.19.8-ckt19 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
---8<------------------------------------------------------------ From: Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo <[email protected]> commit b6ee376cb0b7fb4e7e07d6cd248bd40436fb9ba6 upstream. When creating an ip6tnl tunnel with ip tunnel, rtnl_link_ops is not set before ip6_tnl_create2 is called. When register_netdevice is called, there is no linkinfo attribute in the NEWLINK message because of that. Setting rtnl_link_ops before calling register_netdevice fixes that.
