From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit bcc3f2a829b9edbe3da5fb117ee5a63686d31834 ] I see no reason why max_dst_opts_cnt and max_hbh_opts_cnt are fetched from the initial net namespace. The other sysctls (max_dst_opts_len & max_hbh_opts_len) are in fact already using the current ns. Note: it is not clear why ipv6_destopt_rcv() use two ways to get to the netns : 1) dev_net(dst->dev) Originally used to increment IPSTATS_MIB_INHDRERRORS 2) dev_net(skb->dev) Tom used this variant in his patch. Maybe this calls to use ipv6_skb_net() instead ?
