Where is patch 1/5? You have the resend the entire series as a group, every single one, not just then ones you think you need to. Because when you only sent 1/5 all by itself, I tossed it. Never take shortcuts like this. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Currently the RTM_NEWLINK results in -EOPNOTSUPP if the ifinfomsg->ifi_index is not zero. I propose to allow requesting ifindices on link creation. This is required by the checkpoint-restore to correctly restore a net namespace (i.e. -- a container).
