Thanks! That makes sense. I will send a V2 patch.

Patch looks fine, but the question is:

Can an af_packet socket created in netns A can be moved to netns B later ?

As the answer is probably no, it seems we could simply add a 'struct
net' pointer
in 'struct packet type', no need for a function.

Thanks.
