Generating and retrieving socket cookies are a useful feature that is exposed to BPF for various program types through bpf_get_socket_cookie() helper. The fact that the cookie counter is per netns is quite a limitation for BPF in practice in particular for programs in host namespace that use socket cookies as part of a map lookup key since they will be causing socket cookie collisions e.g. when attached to BPF cgroup hooks or cls_bpf on tc egress in host namespace handling container traffic from veth or ipvlan devices with peer in different netns. Change the counter to be global instead. Socket cookie consumers must assume the value as opqaue in any case. Not every socket must have a cookie generated and knowledge of the counter value itself does not provide much value either way hence conversion to global is fine.

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.
