The goal of this serie is to be able to multicast netlink messages with an
attribute that identify a peer netns.
This is needed by the userland to interpret some informations contained in
netlink messages (like IFLA_LINK value, but also some other attributes in case
of x-netns netdevice (see also
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/315933/focus=316064 and
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.containers/28301/focus=4239)).

Ids of peer netns are set by userland via a new genl messages. These ids are
stored per netns and are local (ie only valid in the netns where they are set).
To avoid allocating an int for each peer netns, I use idr_for_each() to retrieve
the id of a peer netns. Note that it will be possible to add a table (struct net
-> id) later to optimize this lookup if needed.

Patch 1/4 introduces the netlink API mechanism to set and get these ids.
Patch 2/4 and 3/4 implements an example of how to use these ids in rtnetlink
messages. And patch 4/4 shows that the netlink messages can be symetric between
a GET and a SET.

iproute2 patches are available, I can send them on demand.
A quick reply.  I think this patchset is in the right general direction.
There are some oddball details that seem odd/awkward to me such as using
genetlink instead of rtnetlink to get and set the ids, and not having
ids if they are not set (that feels like a maintenance/usability challenge).
No problem to use rtnetlink, in fact, I hesitated.

For the second point, I'm not sure to follow you: how to have an id, which will
not break migration, without asking the user to set it?
We have that situtation with ifindex already.  Basically the thought is
to allow an id to be set, but also allow an id to be auto-generated if
we use an namespace without an id being set.

My gut says if we can figure that out we will have an interface with
much more utility.
Note that if the user does not provide an id, you still have a magic value to
say "it's a peer netns but we don't know which one".
That is certainly an improvement in clarity over where we are today.

I would like to give your patches a deep review, but I won't be able to
do that for a couple of weeks.  I am deep in the process of moving,
and will be mostly offline until about the Nov 11th.
No problem, I will wait.
I would be great to get a final version for the 3.19 ;-)

If my understanding is correct, the difference is that we want to hide some

Do you think we can generate an id for each netns that does not have one and
relying on the fact that this id has no meaning unless you have a netns file
descriptor that allow you to get the id of this netns?

[PATCH net-next v5 2/4] rtnl: add link netns id to interface messages

From: Nicolas Dichtel <hidden>
Date: 2015-01-15 14:17:13

This patch adds a new attribute (IFLA_LINK_NETNSID) which contains the 'link'
netns id when this netns is different from the netns where the interface
stands (for example for x-net interfaces like ip tunnels).
With this attribute, it's possible to interpret correctly all advertised
information (like IFLA_LINK, etc.).

[PATCH net-next v5 1/4] netns: add rtnl cmd to add and get peer netns ids

From: Nicolas Dichtel <hidden>
Date: 2015-01-15 14:17:16

With this patch, a user can define an id for a peer netns by providing a FD or a
PID. These ids are local to the netns where it is added (ie valid only into this
netns).

The main function (ie the one exported to other module), peernet2id(), allows to
get the id of a peer netns. If no id has been assigned by the user, this
function allocates one.

These ids will be used in netlink messages to point to a peer netns, for example
in case of a x-netns interface.

[PATCH net-next v5 4/4] rtnl: allow to create device with IFLA_LINK_NETNSID set

From: Nicolas Dichtel <hidden>
Date: 2015-01-15 14:18:31

This patch adds the ability to create a netdevice in a specified netns and
then move it into the final netns. In fact, it allows to have a symetry between
get and set rtnl messages.

[PATCH net-next v5 0/4] netns: allow to identify peer netns

From: Nicolas Dichtel <hidden>
Date: 2015-01-15 14:18:32

The goal of this serie is to be able to multicast netlink messages with an
attribute that identify a peer netns.
This is needed by the userland to interpret some information contained in
netlink messages (like IFLA_LINK value, but also some other attributes in case
of x-netns netdevice (see also
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/315933/focus=316064 and
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.containers/28301/focus=4239)).

Ids of peer netns can be set by userland via a new rtnl cmd RTM_NEWNSID. When
the kernel needs an id for a peer (for example when advertising a new x-netns
interface via netlink), if the user didn't allocate an id, one will be
automatically allocated.
These ids are stored per netns and are local (ie only valid in the netns where
they are set). To avoid allocating an int for each peer netns, I use
idr_for_each() to retrieve the id of a peer netns. Note that it will be possible
to add a table (struct net -> id) later to optimize this lookup if needed.

Patch 1/4 introduces the rtnetlink API mechanism to set and get these ids.
Patch 2/4 and 3/4 implements an example of how to use these ids when advertising
information about a x-netns interface.
And patch 4/4 shows that the netlink messages can be symetric between a GET and
a SET.

iproute2 patches are available, I can send them on demand.

Here is a small screenshot to show how it can be used by userland.

# Initialization:
$ ip netns add foo
$ ip netns del foo
$ ip netns
$ touch /var/run/netns/init_net
$ mount --bind /proc/1/ns/net /var/run/netns/init_net
$ ip netns add foo
$ ip -n foo netns
foo
init_net
$ ip -n foo netns set init_net 0
$ ip -n foo netns set foo 1

# Only netns seen from foo have an id:
$ ip netns
foo
init_net
$ ip -n foo netns
foo (id: 1)
init_net (id: 0)

# Add a 4in4 x-netns interface with a link-netnsid option and check the dump:
$ ip -n foo link add ipip1 link-netnsid 0 type ipip remote 10.16.0.121 local 10.16.0.249
$ ip -n foo link ls ipip1
6: ipip1@NONE: <POINTOPOINT,NOARP> mtu 1480 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default 
    link/ipip 10.16.0.249 peer 10.16.0.121 link-netnsid 0
# The parameter link-netnsid shows us where the interface sends and receives
# packets (and thus we know where encapsulated addresses are set).

# Add a 4in4 x-netns interface without a link-netnsid option and check that an
# id is allocated in init_net for foo
$ ip netns
foo
init_net
$ ip -n foo link add ipip2 type ipip remote 10.16.0.121 local 10.16.0.249
$ ip -n foo link set ipip2 netns init_net
$ ip link ls ipip2

    link/ipip 10.16.0.249 peer 10.16.0.121 link-netnsid 0
$ ip netns
foo (id: 0)
init_net


v4 -> v5:
  use rtnetlink instead of genetlink
  allocate automatically an id if user didn't assign one
  rename include/uapi/linux/netns.h to include/uapi/linux/net_namespace.h
  add vxlan in patch #3

RFCv3 -> v4:
  rebase on net-next
  add copyright text in the new netns.h file

RFCv2 -> RFCv3:
  ids are now defined by userland (via netlink). Ids are stored in each netns
  (and they are local to this netns).
  add get_link_net support for ip6 tunnels
  netnsid is now a s32 instead of a u32

RFCv1 -> RFCv2:
  remove useless ()
  ids are now stored in the user ns. It's possible to get an id for a peer netns
  only if the current netns and the peer netns have the same user ns parent.
