Yes. I think this kind of patch should be submitted to net-next, but this
is for the net tree. Please let me add more description.
Currently, the net and net-next trees conflict in udp[46]_lib_lookup2()
between
efc6b6f6c311 ("udp: Improve load balancing for SO_REUSEPORT.")
and
7629c73a1466 ("udp: Extract helper for selecting socket from reuseport
group")
2a08748cd384 ("udp6: Extract helper for selecting socket from reuseport
group")
.
The conflict is reported in the link[0] and Jakub suggested how to resolve
it[1]. To ease the merge conflict, Jakub and I have to send follow up patches to
the bpf-next and net trees.
Now, his patchset (7629c73a1466 and 2a08748cd384) to bpf-next is merged
into net-next, and his follow up patch is applied in bpf-next[2].
I fixed a bug in efc6b6f6c311, but it introduced an unnecessary variable
and made the conflict worse. So I sent this follow up patch to net tree.
However, I do not know the best way to resolve the conflict, so any comments
are welcome.
