This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled tipc: eliminate checking netns if node established to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: tipc-eliminate-checking-netns-if-node-established.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 6a588d9c2cb943257dbe84c67485ee010f106521 Author: Hoang Le <hoang.h.le@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Nov 8 10:02:37 2019 +0700 tipc: eliminate checking netns if node established [ Upstream commit d408bef4bfa60bac665b6e7239269570039a968b ] Currently, we scan over all network namespaces at each received discovery message in order to check if the sending peer might be present in a host local namespaces. This is unnecessary since we can assume that a peer will not change its location during an established session. We now improve the condition for this testing so that we don't perform any redundant scans.
