David Ahern and Nicolas Dichtel report that the handling of the netns id 0 is incorrect for the BPF socket lookup helpers: rather than finding the netns with id 0, it is resolving to the current netns. This renders the netns_id 0 inaccessible. To fix this, adjust the API for the netns to treat all negative s32 values as a lookup in the current netns (including u64 values which when truncated to s32 become negative), while any values with a positive value in the signed 32-bit integer space would result in a lookup for a socket in the netns corresponding to that id. As before, if the netns with that ID does not exist, no socket will be found. Any netns outside of these ranges will fail to find a corresponding socket, as those values are reserved for future usage.

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.
