	I trigger it in this way (ip_vs in kernel, ip_vs_ftp
as module):

        if (1 || ip_vs_app_net_init(net) < 0)
                goto app_fail;

	This causes ip_vs core to fail. I use NET_NS=n.

	The ip_vs_ftp part is fixed by:
"[PATCH 2/2] ipvs: fix app registration in netns". So, this check
for ip_vs_ftp is not needed anymore:

	You can post additional patches for lblc and lblcr but
use 'return -ENOENT;', ERR_PTR is not appropriate here, it
is for pointers.
