Jakub Kicinski 09cf85ef18 Merge branch 'ipv4-namespacify-ipv4-address-hash-table'
Kuniyuki Iwashima says:

====================
ipv4: Namespacify IPv4 address hash table.

This is a prep of per-net RTNL conversion for RTM_(NEW|DEL|SET)ADDR.

Currently, each IPv4 address is linked to the global hash table, and
this needs to be protected by another global lock or namespacified to
support per-net RTNL.

Adding a global lock will cause deadlock in the rtnetlink path and GC,

  rtnetlink                      check_lifetime
  |- rtnl_net_lock(net)          |- acquire the global lock
  |- acquire the global lock     |- check ifa's netns
  `- put ifa into hash table     `- rtnl_net_lock(net)

so we need to namespacify the hash table.

The IPv6 one is already namespacified, let's follow that.

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 reStructuredText 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.
