The other day I wanted to play around with sctp and did a basic pass to make sctp per network namespace, so that I could play more conviniently. Apparently this is an idea who's time has come because Jan Ariyasu also made a similar set of changes. I have played around some with these changes and have confirmed that sctp_test from lksctp-tools works without problems. Compared to Jan's changes I have per network namespace association and endpoint hash table lookups, my patch has per network namespace mib statistics, my changes don't contiain per network namespace tunables and my patchset only touches about half as many lines as Jan's change. So for both correctness and simplicity reasons it looks like the practical way to handle this is to merge my changes and get Jan rebase his tunable changes on top. include/net/net_namespace.h | 4 + include/net/netns/sctp.h | 37 +++++ include/net/sctp/sctp.h | 44 +++---- include/net/sctp/structs.h | 28 +---- net/sctp/associola.c | 9 +- net/sctp/bind_addr.c | 14 +- net/sctp/chunk.c | 2 +- net/sctp/endpointola.c | 12 +- net/sctp/input.c | 109 +++++++++------ net/sctp/ipv6.c | 36 +++--- net/sctp/output.c | 2 +- net/sctp/outqueue.c | 18 ++- net/sctp/proc.c | 58 +++++--- net/sctp/protocol.c | 305 ++++++++++++++++++++++--------------------- net/sctp/sm_statefuns.c | 208 ++++++++++++++++++----------- net/sctp/socket.c | 29 +++-- net/sctp/ulpqueue.c | 18 ++- 17 files changed, 533 insertions(+), 400 deletions(-) Eric W.
