Maybe I should correct this, as I've lied because I got a bit bored. Sorry.
That dumping in another netns itself isn't a problem, but you need
knowledge about the other namespaces. And if you have to go through all
the pain to find and dump the interfaces in all other namenspaces by
joining them, than there is not that much advantage in using
NETLINK_LISTEN_ALL_NSID as you could still listen in another netns after
the dump there too.
But there's no need to continue the discussion. I've understood that the
patch series was only meant to reduce the number of sockets one
otherwise would have continuously listen to.
