From: Andrey Vagin <redacted> Each socket operates in a network namespace where it has been created, so if we want to dump and restore a socket, we have to know its network namespace. We have a socket_diag to get information about sockets, it doesn't report sockets which are not bound or connected. This patch introduces a new socket ioctl, which is called SIOCGSKNS and used to get a file descriptor for a socket network namespace. A task must have CAP_NET_ADMIN in a target network namespace to use this ioctl. Cc: "David S. Miller" <davem@davemloft.net> Cc: Eric W. Biederman <redacted> Signed-off-by: Andrei Vagin <redacted>
Applied.
