Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/6] tcp_metrics: Network namespace bloat reduction

This is a small pile of patches that convert tcp_metrics from using a
hash table per network namespace to using a single hash table for all
network namespaces.

This is broken up into several patches so that each small step along
the way could be carefully scrutinized as I wrote it, and equally so
that each small step can be reviewed.

There are two minor cleanups included.  The addition of a missing panic
when the tcp_metrics hash table can not be allocated during boot and the
removal of the return code from tcp_metrics_flush_all

The motivation for this change is that the tcp_metrics hash table at
128KiB is the single largest component of a freshly allocated network
namespace.

Eric W. Biederman (6):
      tcp_metrics: panic when tcp_metrics can not be allocated
      tcp_metrics: Mix the network namespace into the hash function.
      tcp_metrics: Add a field tcpm_net and verify it matches on lookup
      tcp_metrics: Remove the unused return code from tcp_metrics_flush_all
      tcp_metrics: Rewrite tcp_metrics_flush_all
      tcp_metrics: Use a single hash table for all network namespaces.
