[ Upstream commitfdf6491193] pernet tracking doesn't work correctly because other netns might have set NETLINK_LISTEN_ALL_NSID on its event socket. In this case its expected that events originating in other net namespaces are also received. Making pernet-tracking work while also honoring NETLINK_LISTEN_ALL_NSID requires much more intrusive changes both in netlink and nfnetlink, f.e. adding a 'setsockopt' callback that lets nfnetlink know that the event socket entered (or left) ALL_NSID mode. Move to global tracking instead: if there is an event socket anywhere on the system, all net namespaces which have conntrack enabled and use autobind mode will allocate the ecache extension. netlink_has_listeners() returns false only if the given group has no subscribers in any net namespace, the 'net' argument passed to nfnetlink_has_listeners is only used to derive the protocol (nfnetlink), it has no other effect. For proper NETLINK_LISTEN_ALL_NSID-aware pernet tracking of event listeners a new netlink_has_net_listeners() is also needed.

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.
