** Description changed:
This fix is requested to resolve an issue with NFS-backed mounts when
used with BPF-load-balancing:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-
next.git/commit/?id=0bdf399342c5
+
+
+ Testing:
+ - GCP has confirmed the fix works before proposing it upstream. I have
verified basic network sanity with fix applied.
+
+
+ Regression potenial:
+ - The fix modifies kernel_connect() which can have an effect on all kinds of
network connections. The change itself is very minor though and simply converts
a pass-by-reference to a pass-by-value - so the risk is considered minimal.
