sctp: sysctl: make extra pointers netns aware
Recently, a customer reported that from their container whose net namespace is different to the host's init_net, they can't set the container's net.sctp.rto_max to any value smaller than init_net.sctp.rto_min. For instance, Host: sudo sysctl net.sctp.rto_min net.sctp.rto_min = 1000 Container: echo 100 > /mnt/proc-net/sctp/rto_min echo 400 > /mnt/proc-net/sctp/rto_max echo: write error: Invalid argument This is caused by the check made from this'commit 4f3fdf3b ("sctp: add check rto_min and rto_max in sysctl")' When validating the input value, it's always referring the boundary value set for the init_net namespace. Having container's rto_max smaller than host's init_net.sctp.rto_min does make sense. Consider that the rto between two containers on the same host is very likely smaller than it for two hosts. So to fix this problem, as suggested by Marcelo, this patch makes the extra pointers of rto_min, rto_max, pf_retrans, and ps_retrans point to the corresponding variables from the newly created net namespace while the new net namespace is being registered in sctp_sysctl_net_register.
