Merge branch 'openvswitch-netns'
David S. Miller authored

Flavio Leitner says:

====================
Allow openvswitch to query ports in another netns.

Today Open vSwitch users are moving internal ports to other namespaces and
although packets are flowing OK, the userspace daemon can't find out basic
information like if the port is UP or DOWN, for instance.

This patchset extends openvswitch API to retrieve the current netnsid of
a port. It will be used by the userspace daemon to find out in which netns
the port is located.

This patchset also extends the rtnetlink getlink call to accept and operate
on a given netnsid.  More details are available in each patch.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
