With a handful of other minor cleanups (like removing skb_net). I reviewed the patchset. Nice work, thanks! Here are some comments: 01/84 ipvs: Hoist computation of ipvs earlier in sctp_conn_schedule Simon had a fix for this problem, not sure what happened, may be it was lost... 04/84 ipvs: Store ipvs not net in struct ip_vs_conn Lost '!' here: @@ -359,7 +359,7 @@ struct ip_vs_conn *ip_vs_ct_in_get(const struct ip_vs_conn_param *p) hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(cp, &ip_vs_conn_tab[hash], c_list) { if (unlikely(p->pe_data && p->pe->ct_match)) { - if (!ip_vs_conn_net_eq(cp, p->net)) + if (net_eq(cp->ipvs->net, p->net)) continue; Problem is then propagated to patch 05/84: - if (net_eq(cp->ipvs->net, p->net)) + if (cp->ipvs == p->ipvs) 26/84 ipvs: Pass ipvs not net to __ip_vs_get_servie_entries Missing 'c' in Subject 55/84 ipvs: Pass ipvs not net to register_ip_vs_app and unregister_ip_vs_app Empty line after ipvs declaration: void __net_exit ip_vs_app_net_cleanup(struct net *net) { - unregister_ip_vs_app(net, NULL /* all */); + struct netns_ipvs *ipvs = net_ipvs(net); + unregister_ip_vs_app(ipvs, NULL /* all */); here too: static void __ip_vs_ftp_exit(struct net *net) { - unregister_ip_vs_app(net, &ip_vs_ftp); + struct netns_ipvs *ipvs = net_ipvs(net); + if (!ipvs) 61/84 ipvs: Pass ipvs into .conn_in_get and ip_vs_conn_in_get_proto "dreive" 62/84 ipvs: Pass ipvs into conn_out_get "dreive" Also, scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict /tmp/*.patch gives me warnings, sometimes for inherited syntax...
