David S. Miller 7e225619e8 Merge branch 'vrf-allow-simultaneous-service-instances-in-default-and-other-VRFs'
Mike Manning says:

====================
vrf: allow simultaneous service instances in default and other VRFs

Services currently have to be VRF-aware if they are using an unbound
socket. One cannot have multiple service instances running in the
default and other VRFs for services that are not VRF-aware and listen
on an unbound socket. This is because there is no easy way of isolating
packets received in the default VRF from those arriving in other VRFs.

This series provides this isolation for stream sockets subject to the
existing kernel parameter net.ipv4.tcp_l3mdev_accept not being set,
given that this is documented as allowing a single service instance to
work across all VRF domains. Similarly, net.ipv4.udp_l3mdev_accept is
checked for datagram sockets, and net.ipv4.raw_l3mdev_accept is
introduced for raw sockets. The functionality applies to UDP & TCP
services as well as those using raw sockets, and is for IPv4 and IPv6.

Example of running ssh instances in default and blue VRF:

$ /usr/sbin/sshd -D
$ ip vrf exec vrf-blue /usr/sbin/sshd
$ ss -ta | egrep 'State|ssh'
State   Recv-Q   Send-Q           Local Address:Port       Peer Address:Port

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
