[RFC PATCH net-next v2 2/5] netns: add genl cmd to get the id of a netns

From: Nicolas Dichtel
Date: Tue Sep 23 2014 - 09:27:01 EST


This patch allows a user to get an id of a peer netns. It will be usefull for
userland to be able to associate a netns file descriptor with a netns id.

Note: to be able to got an id, both netns should be in the same user ns.
