[PATCH 1/3] IPVS: Change of socket usage to enable name space exit.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This is the first patch in a series of three.
The cleanup doesn't work when not exit in a clean way by using ipvsadm.
Killing of a namespace causes a hanging ipvs, this series will cure that.

If the sync daemons run in a namespace while it crashes
or get killed, there is no way to stop them except for a reboot.

Kernel threads should not increment the use count of a socket.
By calling sk_change_net() after creating a socket this is avoided.
sock_release cant be used, instead sk_release_kernel() should be used.

Thanks to Eric W Biederman.

This patch is based on net-next-2.6  ver 2.6.39-rc2
