From: Flavio Leitner <fbl@redhat.com> Date: Thu, 2 Nov 2017 17:04:35 -0200 > Today Open vSwitch users are moving internal ports to other namespaces and > although packets are flowing OK, the userspace daemon can't find out basic > information like if the port is UP or DOWN, for instance. > > This patchset extends openvswitch API to retrieve the current netnsid of > a port. It will be used by the userspace daemon to find out in which netns > the port is located. > > This patchset also extends the rtnetlink getlink call to accept and operate > on a given netnsid. More details are available in each patch. Series applied, thanks Flavio.
