This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

net: export inet_lookup_reuseport and inet6_lookup_reuseport

to the 5.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git%3Ba=su...

The filename of the patch is: net-export-inet_lookup_reuseport-and-inet6_lookup_re.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory.

If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let stable@vger.kernel.org know about it.

Hi Sasha,

This commit is part of the following series https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230720-so-reuseport-v6-0-7021b683cdae@isovalen... As far as I can tell this was pulled in due to the Fixes tag on patch 7. I think that tag was misguided, in that the original code explicitly rejected SO_REUSEPORT sockets so there isn't a bug to fix here. The SO_REUSEPORT code is quite fiddly, so I'm uneasy about backporting the change. Could you drop patches 3-8 from 5.15, 6.1, 6.4 and 6.5 please?

This also means that "net: remove duplicate INDIRECT_CALLABLE_DECLARE of udp[6]_ehashfn" is not required anymore.

Sorry for the mess, Lorenz
