If the kernel receives a negative nsid it will automatically assign
the next available nsid. In this case alloc_netid() will set min and
max to 0 for ird_alloc(). And when max == 0 idr_alloc() will interpret
this as the maximum range, i.e. specific to nsids it will try to find
an id in the range [0,INT_MAX). This is intentionally supported in the
kernel for nsids.
Commit acbe9118ce ("ip netns: use strtol() instead of atoi()")
regressed ip netns in that respect although previously the use-case
was either accidentally supported or opaquely supported such that it
triggered the original commit. From what I can gather it went as
follows before: atoi() was called with a string indicating a negative
value which caused it to return -1 which was passed to the
kernel. Let's make it less opaque by introducing the keyword "auto":
ip netns set <netns-name> auto
will cause nsid to be set to -1 and the kernel will select an available
nsid.

So far, qdisc was the only handle that could be used to manipulate
filters. Kernel added support for using block to manipulate it. So add
the support to use block index to manipulate filters. The magic
TCM_IFINDEX_MAGIC_BLOCK indicates the block index is in use.

The patch adds support for configuring the erspan v2, for both
ipv4 and ipv6 erspan implementation. Three additional fields
are added: 'erspan_ver' for distinguishing v1 or v2, 'erspan_dir'
for specifying direction of the mirrored traffic, and 'erspan_hwid'
for users to set ERSPAN engine ID within a system.
As for manpage, the ERSPAN descriptions used to be under GRE, IPIP,
SIT Type paragraph. Since IP6GRE/IP6GRETAP also supports ERSPAN,
the patch removes the old one, creates a separate ERSPAN paragrah,
and adds an example.

This patch adapts the tc command line interface to allow bandwidth limits
to be specified as a percentage of the interface's capacity.
Adding this functionality requires passing the specified device string to
each class/qdisc which changes the prototype for a couple of functions: the
.parse_qopt and .parse_copt interfaces. The device string is a required
parameter for tc-qdisc and tc-class, and when not specified, the kernel
returns ENODEV. In this patch, if the user tries to specify a bandwidth
percentage without naming the device, we return an error from userspace.

The AF_VSOCK address family is a host<->guest communications channel
supported by VMware, KVM, and Hyper-V. Initial VMware support was
released in Linux 3.9 in 2013 and transports for other hypervisors were
added later.
AF_VSOCK addresses are <u32 cid, u32 port> tuples. The 32-bit cid
integer is comparable to an IP address. AF_VSOCK ports work like
TCP/UDP ports.
Both SOCK_STREAM and SOCK_DGRAM socket types are available.
This patch adds AF_VSOCK support to ss(8) so that sockets can be
observed.
