From b4b510290b056b86611757ce1175a230f1080f53 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Wed, 12 Sep 2007 13:05:38 +0200 Subject: [NET]: Support multiple network namespaces with netlink Each netlink socket will live in exactly one network namespace, this includes the controlling kernel sockets. This patch updates all of the existing netlink protocols to only support the initial network namespace. Request by clients in other namespaces will get -ECONREFUSED. As they would if the kernel did not have the support for that netlink protocol compiled in. As each netlink protocol is updated to be multiple network namespace safe it can register multiple kernel sockets to acquire a presence in the rest of the network namespaces. The implementation in af_netlink is a simple filter implementation at hash table insertion and hash table look up time. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman Signed-off-by: David S.
