[PATCH 3/3] net/udevns: Netlink module to forward uevent to containers

Michael J. Coss michael.coss at alcatel-lucent.com
Wed Sep 9 18:53:13 UTC 2015


New generic netlink module to provide an interface with the new
forwarding interface for uevent.  The driver allows a user to
direct a uevent as read from the kernel to a specific network
namespace by providing the uevent message, and a target process id.
The uapi header file provides the message format.
