IFLA_IFALIAS is defined as NLA_STRING. It means that the minimal length of
the attribute is 1 ("\0"). However, to remove an alias, the attribute
length must be 0 (see dev_set_alias()).
Let's define the type to NLA_BINARY to allow 0-length string, so that the
alias can be removed.
Example:
$ ip l s dummy0 alias foo
$ ip l l dev dummy0
5: dummy0: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether ae:20:30:4f:a7:f3 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
alias foo
Before the patch:
$ ip l s dummy0 alias ""
RTNETLINK answers: Numerical result out of range
After the patch:
$ ip l s dummy0 alias ""
$ ip l l dev dummy0
5: dummy0: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether ae:20:30:4f:a7:f3 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
