From 6621dd29eb9b5e6774ec7a9a75161352fdea47fc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicolas Dichtel Date: Tue, 3 Oct 2017 13:53:23 +0200 Subject: dev: advertise the new nsid when the netns iface changes x-netns interfaces are bound to two netns: the link netns and the upper netns. Usually, this kind of interfaces is created in the link netns and then moved to the upper netns. At the end, the interface is visible only in the upper netns. The link nsid is advertised via netlink in the upper netns, thus the user always knows where is the link part. There is no such mechanism in the link netns. When the interface is moved to another netns, the user cannot "follow" it. This patch adds a new netlink attribute which helps to follow an interface which moves to another netns. When the interface is unregistered, the new nsid is advertised. If the interface is a x-netns interface (ie rtnl_link_ops->get_link_net is defined), the nsid is allocated if needed. CC: Jason A.
