[RFC iw next] phy: Allow set netns by fd

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Vadim Kochan <vadim4j@xxxxxxxxx>

Added possibility to change network namespace
for phy device by network namespace name from
/var/run/netns or by absolute file path:

    iw phy XXX set netns <nsname> | <pid>

First iw tries to find given nsname from /var/run/netns
or by absoute path (in case if nsname contains "/") and if
it failed to open nsname file then iw uses given argument as <pid>.

Also added missing NL80211 attributes before NL80211_CMD_SET_WIPHY_NETNS.

Signed-off-by: Vadim Kochan <vadim4j@xxxxxxxxx>
