Subject: [patch 7/9][NETNS][IPV6] make mld_max_msf readonly in other namespaces
Date: Fri, 04 Jan 2008 12:12:33 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080104111444.687589192@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20080104111226.776105484@localhost.localdomain
[-- Attachment #1: make-mld_max_msf-readonly.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1114 bytes --]
The mld_max_msf protects the system with a maximum allowed multicast
source filters. Making this variable per namespace can be potentially
an problem if someone inside a namespace set it to a big value, that
will impact the whole system including other namespaces.
I don't see any benefits to have it per namespace for now, so in order
to keep a directory entry in a newly created namespace, I make it
read-only when we are not in the initial network namespace.
