That's probably the biggest problem with the network stack cloning concept - you can either properly virtualize the entire stack or do no virtualization at all. Therefore even if I ever succeed in bringing the patch in full sync with -CURRENT, I assume that many people would stand out against it to be incorporated to the main source tree, as the patch would significantly change pretty much of the code in the net* portions of the kernel tree... At the moment your best option is to try out the available version (against 4.8-R), report any bugs you encounter, and provide suggestions for further reengineering... Cheers, Marko
