[pve-devel] [PATCH common 1/2] fix #5454: net: check names for vlan bridge slave interfaces

[Daniel Kral <d.kral@proxmox.com>]

Adds a check for the name of VLAN bridge slave interfaces, which are
created on non VLAN-aware bridges. These checks mimics what is done when
parsing an interface name in iproute2 [0], which includes a name size
check, an empty string check and checking for invalid characters.

Without this check, creating a VLAN bridge slave interface, where the
length of the string "<iface>.<vlanid>" will be greater than or equal to
16 characters, resulted in the following error message from `ip` itself:

> Error: argument "<iface>.<vlanid>" is wrong: "name" not a valid ifname
