Hi Greg,

Thanks for picking this into the stable trees.

There's an earlier, somewhat related fix, which is only on net-next:

2671fa4dc010 ("netfilter: conntrack: Make global sysctls readonly in
non-init netns")

That probably could have been on "net", but it followed this other
commit which was not strictly a bug-fix. It's additional logic to
detect bugs like the former:

31c4d2f160eb ("net: Ensure net namespace isolation of sysctls")

Here's the series on Patchwork:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/cover/20210412042453.32168-1-Jonathon.Reinhart@xxxxxxxxx/

I'm not yet sure where the threshold is for inclusion into "net" or
"stable". Could you please take a look and see if the first (or both)
of these should be included into the stable trees? If so, please feel
free to pick them yourself, or let me know which patches I should send
to "stable".

Thanks!
Jonathon Reinhart
