Device names that match "help" or a prefix thereof should be allowed anywhere
a device name can be used. Note that a suitable keyword ("dev" or "name", the
latter for "ip tunnel") has to be used in these cases to resolve ambiguities.

If the continue is taken, then there is a memory leak.

“ip maddr show” on an infiniband address causes a stack corruption
because the length of the address for Infiniband (20 bytes, as
described in kernel doc Documentation/infiniband/ipoib.txt) does not
fit on the 16 bytes of the field in which it gets stored.
The proposed patch increases the size of the hardware address from 4
__u32 to 8 and also adds a check to avoid overriding the available
size while parsing the hardware address.
This bug affects current upstream code AFAICT.
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Olivier.
