Message-Id: <20070912.040255.35673679.davem@davemloft.net> Date: Wed, 12 Sep 2007 04:02:55 -0700 (PDT) From: David Miller <davem@...emloft.net> To: ebiederm@...ssion.com Cc: netdev@...r.kernel.org, containers@...ts.osdl.org Subject: Re: [PATCH 11/16] net: Make device event notification network namespace safe From: ebiederm@...ssion.com (Eric W. Biederman) Date: Sat, 08 Sep 2007 15:27:11 -0600 > > Every user of the network device notifiers is either a protocol > stack or a pseudo device. If a protocol stack that does not have > support for multiple network namespaces receives an event for a > device that is not in the initial network namespace it quite possibly > can get confused and do the wrong thing. > > To avoid problems until all of the protocol stacks are converted > this patch modifies all netdev event handlers to ignore events on > devices that are not in the initial network namespace. > > As the rest of the code is made network namespace aware these > checks can be removed. > > Signed-off-by: Eric W.
