This patch series includes some netns-related improvements and fixes for RTNL and ip_tunnel, to make link creation more intuitive:
- Creating link in another net namespace doesn't conflict with link names in current one.
- Refector rtnetlink link creation. Create link in target namespace directly. Pass both source and link netns to drivers via newlink() callback.
So that
# ip link add netns ns1 link-netns ns2 tun0 type gre ...
will create tun0 in ns1, rather than create it in ns2 and move to ns1. And don't conflict with another interface named "tun0" in current netns.
