This really need to be a fundamental facility, so that it transparently works for NetworkManager, router daemons, everything. Not just iproute2 and "ls".I'll rebase my patch and send out as RFC.David, did you finally send those patches?
No, but for a few reasons. It is easy to hide devices in a dump: https://github.com/dsahern/linux/commit/48a80a00eac284e58bae04af10a5a932dd7aee00 But I think those devices should also not exist in sysfs or procfs which overlaps what I would like to see for lightweight netdevices: https://github.com/dsahern/linux/commit/70574be699cf252e77f71e3df11192438689f976 and to be complete, hidden devices should not be allowed to have a network address or transmit packets which is the L2 only intent from Florian: https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg340808.html
