> This patch series contains the set of changes to correctly set up 
> the infra for PF_RDS sockets that use TCP as the transport in multiple
> network namespaces.
> 
> Patch 1 in the series is the minimal set of changes to allow
> a single instance of RDS-TCP to run in any (i.e init_net or other) net
> namespace.  The changes in this patch set ensure that the execution of 
> 'modprobe [-r] rds_tcp' sets up the kernel TCP sockets 
> relative to the current netns, so that RDS applications can send/recv
> packets from that netns, and the netns can later be deleted cleanly.
> 
> Patch 2 of the series further allows multiple RDS-TCP instances,
> one per network namespace. The changes in this patch allows dynamic
> creation/tear-down of RDS-TCP client and server sockets  across all
> current and future namespaces. 
> 
> v2 changes from RFC sent out earlier:
>     David Ahern comments in patch 1, net_device notifier in patch 2, 
>     patch 3 broken off and submitted separately.
> v3: Cong Wang review comments.

Series applied, thanks.
