Network devices show up in sysfs and with the network +namespace active multiple devices with the same name can show up in +the same directory, ouch! + +To avoid that problem and allow existing applications in network +namespaces to see the same interface that is currently presented in +sysfs, sysfs now has tagging directory support. + +By using the network namespace pointers as tags to separate out the +the sysfs directory entries we ensure that we don't have conflicts +in the directories and applications only see a limited set of +the network devices. + +Each sysfs directory entry may be tagged with zero or one +namespaces. A sysfs_dirent is augmented with a void *s_ns. If a +directory entry is tagged, then sysfs_dirent->s_flags will have a +flag between KOBJ_NS_TYPE_NONE and KOBJ_NS_TYPES, and s_ns will +point to the namespace to which it belongs. + +Each sysfs superblock's sysfs_super_info contains an array void +*ns[KOBJ_NS_TYPES]. When a a task in a tagging namespace +kobj_nstype first mounts sysfs, a new superblock is created. It +will be differentiated from other sysfs mounts by having its +s_fs_info->ns[kobj_nstype] set to the new namespace. Note that +through bind mounting and mounts propagation, a task can easily view +the contents of other namespaces' sysfs mounts. Therefore, when a +namespace exits, it will call kobj_ns_exit() to invalidate any +sysfs_dirent->s_ns pointers pointing to it. + +Users of this interface: +- define a type in the kobj_ns_type enumeration. +- call kobj_ns_type_register() with its kobj_ns_type_operations which has + - current_ns() which returns current's namespace + - netlink_ns() which returns a socket's namespace + - initial_ns() which returns the initial namesapce +- call kobj_ns_exit() when an individual tag is no longer valid |
