When creating macvtaps that are expected to have the same ifindex in different network namespaces, only the first one will succeed. The others will fail with a sysfs_warn_dup warning due to them trying to create the following sysfs link (with 'NN' the ifindex of macvtapX): /sys/class/macvtap/tapNN -> /sys/devices/virtual/net/macvtapX/tapNN This is reproducible by running the following commands: ip netns add ns1 ip netns add ns2 ip link add veth0 type veth peer name veth1 ip link set veth0 netns ns1 ip link set veth1 netns ns2 ip netns exec ns1 ip l add link veth0 macvtap0 type macvtap ip netns exec ns2 ip l add link veth1 macvtap1 type macvtap The last command will fail with "RTNETLINK answers: File exists" (along with the kernel warning) but retrying it will work because the ifindex was incremented. The 'net' device class is isolated between network namespaces so each one has its own hierarchy of net devices. This isn't the case for the 'macvtap' device class. The problem occurs half-way through the netdev registration, when `macvtap_device_event` is called-back to create the 'tapNN' macvtap class device under the 'macvtapX' net class device. This patch adds namespace support to the 'macvtap' device class so that /sys/class/macvtap is no longer shared between net namespaces. However, making the macvtap sysfs class namespace-aware has the side effect of changing /sys/devices/virtual/net/macvtapX/tapNN into /sys/devices/virtual/net/macvtapX/macvtap/tapNN. This is due to Commit 24b1442 ("Driver-core: Always create class directories for classses that support namespaces") and the fact that class devices supporting namespaces are really not supposed to be placed directly under other class devices. To avoid breaking userland, a tapNN symlink pointing to macvtap/tapNN is created inside the macvtapX directory.
