Subject: [PATCH 0/4] RDMA/rxe: Add the support that rxe can work in net namespace
Date: Fri,  6 Mar 2026 00:24:48 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260306082452.1822-1-yanjun.zhu@linux.dev> (raw)

Currently rxe does not work correctly in network namespaces.

When the rdma_rxe module is loaded, a UDP socket listening on port
4791 is created in init_net. When users run:

    ip link add ... type rxe

inside another network namespace, the RXE RDMA link is created but it
cannot function properly because the underlying UDP socket belongs to
init_net. Other network namespaces cannot use that socket.

To address this issue, this series introduces net namespace support
for rxe and moves socket management to be per network namespace.

The series first introduces per-net namespace management for the IPv4
and IPv6 sockets used by rxe. The sockets are created when the network
namespace becomes active and are released when the namespace is
destroyed.

Based on this infrastructure, rxe RDMA links are then created and
destroyed within each network namespace. This ensures that both the
UDP sockets and RDMA links are correctly scoped to the namespace in
which they are used.

With these changes, rxe RDMA links can be created and used both in
init_net and in other network namespaces, and resources are properly
cleaned up during namespace teardown.

The series also includes a selftest to verify RXE functionality in
network namespaces.

Zhu Yanjun (4):
  RDMA/rxe: Add testcase for net namespace rxe
  RDMA/nldev: Add dellink function pointer
  RDMA/rxe: Add net namespace support for IPv4/IPv6 sockets
  RDMA/rxe: Support RDMA link creation and destruction per net namespace
