      [NET]: Virtual ethernet device driver. · e314dbdc
      Pavel Emelyanov 提交于
      Veth stands for Virtual ETHernet. It is a simple tunnel driver
      that works at the link layer and looks like a pair of ethernet
      devices interconnected with each other.
      
      Mainly it allows to communicate between network namespaces but
      it can be used as is as well.
      
      The newlink callback is organized that way to make it easy to
      create the peer device in the separate namespace when we have
      them in kernel.
      
      This implementation uses another interface - the RTM_NRELINK
      message introduced by Patric.
      
      Bug fixes from Daniel Lezcano.
