There was a change posted recently to dynamically allocate the loopback device. I like that (sorry I don't have a reference to the patch handy), and you can build on top of that to get the namespace local loopback objects you want. static struct net_device *loopback_dev(struct net_namespace *net) { ... } You get the idea. _______________________________________________ Containers mailing list Containers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/containers
