From 42a4461854ab308ebcebb99df7085e1e896f8fa5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Timothy Redaelli Date: Fri, 10 Feb 2017 12:51:09 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] macsec: show usage even if the module is not available Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1367071 Upstream Status: iproute2.git commit 688f9aa commit 688f9aa4f24ffac148f6b4127602f10a7837d4ba Author: Sabrina Dubroca Date: Tue Aug 16 16:26:56 2016 +0200 macsec: show usage even if the module is not available Currently, the `ip macsec` command tries to initialize a genl context even when we just want to see the help for the command, which doesn't require to talk to the kernel at all. Delay genl initialization, which can fail if the module isn't loaded, until the point where we will actually need it.
