Subject: [PATCH v2 net-next 00/13] neighbour: Namespacify arp_tbl and nd_tbl.
Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2026 23:28:38 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260807232932.3986667-1-kuniyu@google.com> (raw)
The neighbour subsystem is almost ready to drop RTNL.
However, the control paths are serialised by the global
per-table lock.
This series converts arp_tbl and nd_tbl to per-netns table.
Patch 1 ~ 2 are misc cleanup.
Patch 3 ~ 6 store arp_tbl/nd_tbl to net->neigh_tables[] and
remove the global neigh_tables[].
Patch 7 ~ 8 replace the direct access to arp_tbl/nd_tbl to
net->neigh_tables[] using new helpers.
Patch 9 ~ 10 finally replace the global table with per-netns
table.
Patch 11 ~ 12 clean up unnecessary net_eq().
Patch 13 updates test_neigh.sh.
Note that some buggy drivers access nd_tbl without checking
disable_ipv6_mod, so nd_tbl's extern definition is still left.
Changes:
v2:
* Add Patch 11 & 13
* Patch 7
* Add note about mlx5e_tc_update_neigh_used_value()
* Patch 9
* Add __maybe_unused to net in neigh_table_clear()
(next patch removes it)
* Patch 10
* panic() when register_pernet_subsys(&arp_net_ops) fails
* Add timer_shutdown_sync() in neigh_flush_one()
* Patch 11
* Split from the next patch
* Remove net comparison in pneigh_dump_table()
* Remove net arg of pneigh_create(), pneigh_delete(), and
pneigh_lookup()
