May be you can suggest > a better way That's a respectable goal, but I think you're way overshooting it and thus getting it wrong. You're changing the semantics from "please switch this interface to that other netns" to "please switch this interface *and all others on this HW* to that other netns" which is, in my opinion, something so much more unexpected and prone to breaking people's setups than returning "not supported" here. johannes -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
