This reverts commits: 0dad4087a86a2cbe177404dc73f18ada26a2c390 ("tcp/dccp: get rid of inet_twsk_purge()") d507204d3c5cc57d9a8bdf0a477615bb59ea1611 ("tcp/dccp: add tw->tw_bslot") As Leonard pointed out, a newly allocated netns can happen to reuse a freed 'struct net'. While TCP TW timers were covered by my patches, other things were not: 1) Lookups in rx path (INET_MATCH() and INET6_MATCH()), as they look at 4-tuple plus the 'struct net' pointer. 2) /proc/net/tcp[6] and inet_diag, same reason. 3) hashinfo->bhash[], same reason. Fixing all this seems risky, lets instead revert. In the future, we might have a per netns tcp hash table, or a per netns list of timewait sockets...

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
