Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/1] net namespace: dynamically configure new net namespace
 inherit net config

Hi, all

Some expect the new net namespace inherits from the original net config. 
Some expect the new net namespace
inherits from the current net config, including the modified net 
configurations.

To meet the different reqirements, this patch is made.

I think maybe mainline should need this patch.

Please comment on this patch.

Any reply is appreciated.

Thanks a lot.
