Subject: [PATCH 5.15.y 3/4] ipv6/addrconf: allocate a per netns hash table
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2026 11:02:23 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261111160144.2767084-3-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261111160144.2767084-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>
[ Upstream commit 21a216a8fc630161e69eaf02cbebdd1816ff1a13 ]
Add a per netns hash table and a dedicated spinlock,
first step to get rid of the global inet6_addr_lst[] one.
