    netlink/genetlink: pass network namespace to bind/unbind · 023e2cfa
    Johannes Berg authored
    Netlink families can exist in multiple namespaces, and for the most
    part multicast subscriptions are per network namespace. Thus it only
    makes sense to have bind/unbind notifications per network namespace.
    
    To achieve this, pass the network namespace of a given client socket
    to the bind/unbind functions.
    
    Also do this in generic netlink, and there also make sure that any
    bind for multicast groups that only exist in init_net is rejected.
    This isn't really a problem if it is accepted since a client in a
    different namespace will never receive any notifications from such
    a group, but it can confuse the family if not rejected (it's also
    possible to silently (without telling the family) accept it, but it
    would also have to be ignored on unbind so families that take any
    kind of action on bind/unbind won't do unnecessary work for invalid
    clients like that.
