Currently, a nlmon link inside a child namespace can observe systemwide
netlink activity. Filter the traffic so that in a non-init netns,
nlmon can only sniff netlink messages from its own netns.
Test case:
vpnns -- bash -c "ip link add nlmon0 type nlmon; \
ip link set nlmon0 up; \
tcpdump -i nlmon0 -q -w /tmp/nlmon.pcap -U" &
sudo ip xfrm state add src 10.1.1.1 dst 10.1.1.2 proto esp \
spi 0x1 mode transport \
auth sha1 0x6162633132330000000000000000000000000000 \
enc aes 0x00000000000000000000000000000000
grep abc123 /tmp/nlmon.pcap
