Hello:

This series was applied to netdev/net-next.git (main)
by Paolo Abeni [off-list ref]:

The fib:fib_table_lookup and fib6:fib6_table_lookup tracepoints do not
report the network namespace in which the lookup was performed, so
lookups performed in different namespaces cannot be told apart. The
recorded PID does not help either, as lookups in the receive path are
performed in softIRQ context.

This is a problem, for example, for netns-aware tracers [1] and
multi-ASIC systems where each ASIC and its ports reside in a separate
network namespace.

Here is the summary with links:

  - [net-next,v2,2/3] ipv4: Pass netns to fib_table_lookup()
