[PATCH net-next 0/4] Ease to interpret net-nsid

[Nicolas Dichtel <nicolas.dichtel@6wind.com>]

The goal of this series is to ease the interpretation of nsid received in
netlink messages from other netns (when the user uses
NETLINK_F_LISTEN_ALL_NSID).

After this series, with a patched iproute2:

$ ip netns add foo
$ ip netns add bar
$ touch /var/run/netns/init_net
$ mount --bind /proc/1/ns/net /var/run/netns/init_net
$ ip netns set init_net 11
$ ip netns set foo 12
$ ip netns set bar 13
$ ip netns
init_net (id: 11)
bar (id: 13)
foo (id: 12)
$ ip -n foo netns set init_net 21
$ ip -n foo netns set foo 22
$ ip -n foo netns set bar 23
$ ip -n foo netns
init_net (id: 21)
bar (id: 23)
foo (id: 22)
$ ip -n bar netns set init_net 31
$ ip -n bar netns set foo 32
$ ip -n bar netns set bar 33
$ ip -n bar netns
init_net (id: 31)
bar (id: 33)
foo (id: 32)
$ ip netns list-id target-nsid 12
nsid 21 current-nsid 11 (iproute2 netns name: init_net)
nsid 22 current-nsid 12 (iproute2 netns name: foo)
nsid 23 current-nsid 13 (iproute2 netns name: bar)
$ ip -n bar netns list-id target-nsid 32 nsid 31
nsid 21 current-nsid 31 (iproute2 netns name: init_net)
