The main short coming of using multiple network namespaces today is that only network devices for the primary network namespaces can be put in the kobject layer and sysfs. This is essentially the earlier version of this patchset that was reviewed before, just now on top of a version of sysfs that doesn't need cleanup patches to support it. I have been running these patches in some form for well over a year so the basics should at least be solid. This patchset is currently against 2.6.34-rc1. This patchset is just the basic infrastructure a couple of more pretty trivial patches are needed to actually enable network namespaces to use this. My current plan is to send those after these patches have made it through review. drivers/base/class.c | 9 ++++ drivers/base/core.c | 98 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------- drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c | 2 +- drivers/md/bitmap.c | 4 +- drivers/md/md.c | 6 +- fs/sysfs/bin.c | 2 +- fs/sysfs/dir.c | 106 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----------- fs/sysfs/file.c | 17 ++++--- fs/sysfs/group.c | 6 +- fs/sysfs/inode.c | 6 ++- fs/sysfs/mount.c | 91 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- fs/sysfs/symlink.c | 35 ++++++++++++++- fs/sysfs/sysfs.h | 23 ++++++++-- include/linux/device.h | 3 + include/linux/kobject.h | 26 +++++++++++ include/linux/sysfs.h | 18 ++++++++ lib/kobject.c | 104 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 17 files changed, 480 insertions(+), 76 deletions(-) Eric -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
