Subject: Re: [PATCH 3/3] net/udevns: Netlink module to forward uevent to containers

If we can't just pass the message thourgh I don't expect genetlink is a
particularly good interface for this.

It would be nice if we could open some appropriate thing and the act of
getting a file descriptor ould suppress all of the uevent broadcast
messages in that network namespace.

Further GENL_ADMIN_PERM is an unfortunate choice for a permission check.
I don't see it as exploitable but I am not certain CAP_SYS_ADMIN is the
best capability to check.    Beyond that we probably want to arrange
things so that we can use ns_capable so we can allow containers to hand
off their devices to child containers.

Implementations that do not allow for containers to nest bother me.
