dev_net(dev) is the netns of the device and xi->net is the link netns,
where the device has been linked.
changelink() must operate in the link netns to avoid a corruption of
the xfrm lists.
Note that xi->net and dev_net(xi->physdev) are always the same.
Before the patch, the xfrmi lists may be corrupted and can later trigger a
kernel panic.

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.
