This is not new, macvlan has the same problem. This is why I said it is mostly a display problem, maybe just mark the ifindex as -1 or something when it is not in this netns. At least I don't expect the inner netns know anything outside, and I don't think I am the only one using netns in this way. > - the encapsulation addresses are not part of this netns but the user > doesn't > known that (still because netns info is missing).

I don't remember your x-netns code, but we have two choices: 1) Lookup the route of the netns which it is in If the address is not available in this netns, it will fail, this is expected since tunnel device is not a pure L2 device. Or maybe just fail early when we move it. 2) Lookup the route of the netns where it was created Transparent for upper layer, but as you said, the outer address is not available in this netns therefore hard to display. Just hiding this information doesn't seem wrong to me. > - it's not possible to create the same netdevice with these infos. > This is expected, because after all you are already in a different netns. _______________________________________________ Containers mailing list Containers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/containers
