Patch 1 in the series is the minimal set of changes to allow a single instance of RDS-TCP to run in any (i.e init_net or other) net namespace. The changes in this patch set ensure that the execution of 'modprobe [-r] rds_tcp' sets up the kernel TCP sockets relative to the current netns, so that RDS applications can send/recv packets from that netns, and the netns can later be deleted cleanly. Patch 2 of the series further allows multiple RDS-TCP instances, one per network namespace. The changes in this patch allows dynamic creation/tear-down of RDS-TCP client and server sockets across all current and future namespaces. v2 changes from RFC sent out earlier: David Ahern comments in patch 1, net_device notifier in patch 2, patch 3 broken off and submitted separately. v3: Cong Wang review comments. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
