Re: [PATCH net-next v8 01/11] rtnetlink: Lookup device in target netns when creating link

From: Xiao Liang <shaw.leon@gmail.com> Date: Mon, 13 Jan 2025 22:37:09 +0800

When creating link, lookup for existing device in target net namespace instead of current one. For example, two links created by:

# ip link add dummy1 type dummy # ip link add netns ns1 dummy1 type dummy

should have no conflict since they are in different namespaces.
