From c62cce2caee558e18aa05c01c2fd3b40f07174f2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrey Vagin Date: Mon, 24 Oct 2016 18:29:13 -0700 Subject: net: add an ioctl to get a socket network namespace Each socket operates in a network namespace where it has been created, so if we want to dump and restore a socket, we have to know its network namespace. We have a socket_diag to get information about sockets, it doesn't report sockets which are not bound or connected. This patch introduces a new socket ioctl, which is called SIOCGSKNS and used to get a file descriptor for a socket network namespace. A task must have CAP_NET_ADMIN in a target network namespace to use this ioctl. Cc: "David S. Miller" Cc: Eric W. Biederman Signed-off-by: Andrei Vagin Signed-off-by: David S.
