Thanks very much for keeping this going, Eric! I'm going to keep looking through the code some more, but so far I see no problems. Acked-by: Serge Hallyn to the full patchset. I'm really hoping you'll also include the patch to implement the netns support (i.e. basically commit fdc0adeaa8bfab9a179e1eb349cab400ddb70403 that you sent inline this morning to Tejun). thanks, -serge
