| |
Currently, Netlink has partial support for acting outside of the current namespace. It appears that the intention was to extend this to all the methods eventually, but it hasn't been done to date.
With this series RTM_SETLINK, RTM_NEWLINK, RTM_NEWADDR, and RTM_NEWNSID are extended to respect the selection of the namespace to work in.

Jonas Bonn (5): rtnetlink: allow RTM_SETLINK to reference other namespaces rtnetlink: skip namespace change if already effect rtnetlink: allow RTM_NEWLINK to act upon interfaces in arbitrary namespaces net: ipv4: allow setting address on interface outside current namespace net: namespace: allow setting NSIDs outside current namespace
