[RFC PATCH net-next 0/3] netns: optionally inherit IPv4 TCP sysctls from old net

[nmreadelf]

a new network namespace starts with built-in TCP defaults.
In container-heavy setups, operators often tune TCP sysctls in init_net and then
need to re-apply the same values for each new netns.

This series adds an opt-in mechanism to initialize per-netns IPv4 TCP sysctl
settings from init_net at netns creation time.

Behavior:

Default is unchanged.
When net.ipv4.netns_inherit_tcp_sysctls=1, new netns inherit
TCP sysctl from old_net.

nmreadelf (3):
  ipv4: netns: group copyable TCP sysctls in netns_ipv4
  net: ipv4: add netns_inherit_tcp_sysctls sysctl
  tcp: netns: optionally inherit IPv4 TCP sysctls from parent netns
