commit 4fbae7d83c98c30efc ("ipvlan: Introduce l3s mode") added
registration of netfilter hooks via nf_register_hooks().
This API provides the illusion of 'global' netfilter hooks by placing the
hooks in all current and future network namespaces.
In case of ipvlan the hook appears to be only needed in the namespace
that contains the ipvlan master device (i.e., usually init_net), so
placing them in all namespaces is not needed.
This switches ipvlan driver to pernet operations, and then only registers
hooks in namespaces where a ipvlan master device is set to l3s mode.
Extra care has to be taken when the master device is moved to another
namespace, as we might have to 'move' the netfilter hooks too.
This is done by storing the namespace the ipvlan port was created in.
On REGISTER event, do (un)register operations in the old/new namespaces.
This will also allow removal of the nf_register_hooks() in a future 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.
