RDMA/core: Add command to set ib_core device net namspace sharing mode
Parav Pandit authored

Add netlink command that enables/disables sharing rdma device among
multiple net namespaces.

Using rdma tool,
$rdma sys set netns shared (default mode)

When rdma subsystem netns mode is set to shared mode, rdma devices
will be accessible in all net namespaces.

Using rdma tool,
$rdma sys set netns exclusive

When rdma subsystem netns mode is set to exclusive mode, devices
will be accessible in only one net namespace at any given
point of time.

If there are any net namespaces other than default init_net exists,
while executing this command, it will fail and mode cannot be changed.

To change this mode, netlink command is used instead of sysctl, because
netlink command allows to auto load a module.

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

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
