    tun: add tun_flags, owner, group attributes in sysfs · 980c9e8c
    David Woodhouse authored
    This patch adds three attribute files in /sys/class/net/$dev/ for tun
    devices; allowing userspace to obtain the information which TUNGETIFF
    offers, and more, but without having to attach to the device in question
    (which may not be possible if it's in use).
    
    It also fixes a bug which has been present in the TUNGETIFF ioctl since
    its inception, where it would never set IFF_TUN or IFF_TAP according to
    the device type. (Look carefully at the code which I remove from
    tun_get_iff() and how the new tun_flags() helper is subtly different).
