Subject: [RFC PATCH net-next 0/3] Remove NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL from software devices.
Date: Thu, 3 Jan 2013 11:25:18 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1357205121-4700-1-git-send-email-ramirose@gmail.com> (raw)
When NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL feature is set in some network device,
we do not allow this device to be moved from one network namespace
to another (see dev_change_net_namespace()). Vlan device is not considered
a local device and does not have the NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL feature. There is no
reason that software devices like vxlan, ppp and bridge, will set the
NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL feature. This patchset removes NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL
from vxlan, ppp and bridge devices.
Rami Rosen (3):
ppp: remove NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL from ppp device features.
bridge: remove NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL from bridge device.
vxlan: remove NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL from vxlan device features.
