I copied the mechanism from rtnl_link_get_net():
First check if the user provides a PID, if not, check for a FD.

Hmm, if I understand well, it's what is done in the patch:

[snip]
>> +static int netns_nl_cmd_newid(struct sk_buff *skb, struct genl_info *info)
>> +{
[snip]
>> + if (info->attrs[NETNSA_PID])
>> + peer = get_net_ns_by_pid(nla_get_u32(info->attrs[NETNSA_PID]));
>> + else if (info->attrs[NETNSA_FD])
>> + peer = get_net_ns_by_fd(nla_get_u32(info->attrs[NETNSA_FD]));
>> + else
>> + return -EINVAL;
>> + if (IS_ERR(peer))
>> + return PTR_ERR(peer);

Am I right?

Nicolas
