Subject: network-namespace and NETLINK_INET_DIAG - kernel v3.2.39-longterm

Hi Eric et al,

Re: Network-namespace and NETLINK_INET_DIAG

=> Kernel v3.2.39-longterm

Within a default/host namespace:
--------------------------------

# strace /bin/ss -pim 
execve("/bin/ss", ["/bin/ss", "-pim"], [/* 28 vars */]) = 0
...
...
socket(PF_NETLINK, SOCK_RAW, 4)         = 3  
sendmsg(3, {msg_name(12)={sa_family=AF_NETLINK, pid=0, groups=00000000},
            msg_iov(1)=[{"L\0\0\0\22\0\1\3@\342\1\0\0\0\0\0\2\0\0\17\0\0
                          \0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 76}],
            msg_controllen=0,
            msg_flags=0}, 0) = 76

            msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 684

=> Network namespace (kernel v3.2.39-longterm) not allowing /bin/ss
   missing information from structs tcp_info  and  inet_diag_meminfo.
   This is fixed in kernel v3.6-rc1. Are there identifiable patchsets
   from kernel v3.6-rc1 that can be easily backported to
   kernel v3.2.x-longterm ??


Thanks.
