[ Upstream commit 8c8b7aa7fb0cf9e1cc9204e6bc6e1353b8393502 ]
Inside netns owned by non-init userns, sysctls about ARP/neighbor is
currently not visible and configurable.
For the attributes these sysctls correspond to, any modifications make
effects on the performance of networking(ARP, especilly) only in the
scope of netns, which does not affect other netns.
Actually, some tools via netlink can modify these attribute. iproute2 is
an example. see as follows:
$ unshare -ur -n
$ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/lo/retrans_time
cat: can't open '/proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/lo/retrans_time': No such file
or directory
