Hi Greg & Sasha,
tl;dr: Please add 2dce224f469f ("netns: protect netns ID lookups with RCU") to the stable releases from v5.4 and older. It fixes a spin_unlock_bh() in peernet2id() called with IRQs off. I think this neat side-effect of commit 2dce224f469f was quite un-intentional, hence no Fixes: tag or CC: stable.
Please provide a working backport for all of the relevant kernel verisons, as it does not apply cleanly on it's own.
I've done the backports. 4.9 is actually not needed, because it uses spin_{lock,unlock}_irqsave() in peernet2id(). Hence, we have an "offending" commit which this one fixes:
fba143c66abb ("netns: avoid disabling irq for netns id")
Will get'm out during the weekend.
Thxs, Håkon
