The goal is to be able to inherit the initial devconf parameters from the current netns, ie the netns where this new netns has been created. This is useful in a containers environment where /proc/sys is read only. For example, if a pod is created with specifics devconf parameters and has the capability to create netns, the user expects to get the same parameters than his 'init_net', which is not the real init_net in this case.

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.
