The kernel supports a link mode attribute (which can be dormant or default).
This attribute is used to control how the link watch engine
handles operstate transistion.
This adds a new parameter to ip link command to allow setting and
displaying the value.
---
Change the order of evaluation of ip link type arguements to allow
changing parameters of gre tunnels.
The following wouldn't work:
# ip li add mytunnel type gretap remote 1.1.1.1 key 3
# ip li set mytunnel type gretap key 9
Both rtnl_talk and rtnl_dump had a callback for handling portions
of netlink message that do not match the correct pid or seq.
But this callback was never used by any part of iproute2 so remove
it.
Add ip link command parsing for VF spoof checking enable/disable
V2 - Fixed problem with parsing of dump info on kernels that don't
support the spoof checking option and also wrapped the ifla_vf_info
structure in #ifdef __KERNEL__ to prevent user space from directly
accessing the structure
V3 - Improved parsing of vfinfo
V4 - Put Makefile back to proper list of subdirs
V5 - Remove struct ifla_vf_info, it is only used by the kernel
V6 - Make sure spoof check is reported by the driver - rtnl will set
it to -1 to indicate driver didn't report a value.

The goal of this code change is to implement a mechanism such that it is
simple to work with a kernel that is using multiple network namespaces
at once.
This comes in handy for interacting with vpns where there may be rfc1918
address overlaps, and different policies default routes, name servers
and the like.
Configuration specific to a network namespace that would ordinarily be
stored under /etc/ is stored under /etc/netns/<name>. For example if
the dns server configuration is different for your vpn you would create
a file /etc/netns/myvpn/resolv.conf.
File descriptors that can be used to manipulate a network namespace can
be created by opening /var/run/netns/<NAME>.
This adds the following commands to iproute.
ip netns add NAME
ip netns delete NAME
ip netns monitor
ip netns list
ip netns exec NAME cmd ....
ip link set DEV netns NAME
ip netns exec exists to cater the vast majority of programs that only
know how to operate in a single network namespace. ip netns exec
changes the default network namespace, creates a new mount namespace,
remounts /sys and bind mounts netns specific configuration files to
their standard locations.

Add the group keyword to ip link set, which has the following meaning:
If both a group and a device name are pressent, we change the device's
group to the specified one. If only a group is present, then the
operation specified by the rest of the command should apply on an entire
group, not a single device.
So, to set eth0 to the default group, one would use
ip link set dev eth0 group default
Conversely, to set all the devices in the default group down, use
ip link set group default down

This reverts commit 632110aa0d.
There seem to be some recent changes in the 802.1Qbh/bg specs which may
result in changes to this patch in the near future. It seems like its best
to ignore this patch for now.
I will re-spin at a later time when the changes in the specs converge.
BTW, Please let me know if I should CC netdev list and others on the

Hello Rafael Almeida.
I noticed your patch adding DESTDIR support in the latest iproute2 release.
Much appreciated! Soon the debian packages might be able to move to actually
using "make install" rather then it's own installation procedure when
building packages. I've noticed something that will break though....
Debian packages usually sets DESTDIR=debian/tmp/ and packages the contents
of that directory as if it where the root file system. This will break
the /usr/lib/{tc,ip}/ module loading, because they DESTDIR (/usr) will be
/whatever-the-build-path-was/debian/tmp/lib/{tc,ip}/.
I beleive others usually call this the LIBDIR to make the separation between
DISTDIR being the (possibly temporary) place things are put when build is
done, and LIBDIR (and others) are used for actual runtime paths.
I'm attaching a patch that I think fixes this, but would be really happy if
you could have a look at to verify I'm not screwing something up.

After changing the DESTDIR the installated binaries have some issues
due to hard coded paths. For example, using distributions on NetEm
would segfault.
I've changed iplink.c and tc_util.c so they are now aware of DESTDIR.
Along with that change I needed to change the main Makefile so it
defines the DESTDIR macro when calling gcc.
I also changed the paths so that during the installation sbin, etc,
share and lib directories are created directly inside of the DESTDIR,
instead of creating a usr directory inside that. That's the behaviour
of most packages out there, so I think most users will be expecting
that to happen.
Hi Stephen,
I resend you this patch once more. This time I updated the documentation
too (may be that was the reason why you didn't take it before?).
Please tell me if there are other things missing in this patch
It applies on iproute2 git tree.

Description:
------------
This patch adds support for the IFLA_NET_NS_PID type. It is used to
move network devices between network namespaces.
The syntax is:
ip link set DEVICE netns PID
PID is the pid of a process in the target network namespace.

It seems it fails to properly detect that your kernel is missing
RTM_NEWLINK support. Apparently the reason is that the kernels

The command line parsing code expects link layer addresses to be a
maximum of 16-bytes. Addresses over 16-bytes are truncated.
