[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.16 078/109] macvtap: advertise link netns via netlink
From: Sasha Levin
Date: Fri Apr 01 2022 - 11:05:19 EST
From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit a02192151b7dbf855084c38dca380d77c7658353 ]
Assign rtnl_link_ops->get_link_net() callback so that IFLA_LINK_NETNSID is
added to rtnetlink messages. This fixes iproute2 which otherwise resolved
the link interface to an interface in the wrong namespace.
Test commands:
ip netns add nst
ip link add dummy0 type dummy
ip link add link macvtap0 link dummy0 type macvtap
ip link set macvtap0 netns nst
ip -netns nst link show macvtap0
Before:
10: macvtap0@gre0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 500
link/ether 5e:8f:ae:1d:60:50 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
After:
10: macvtap0@if2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 500
link/ether 5e:8f:ae:1d:60:50 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff link-netnsid 0
