Troy Davis 15b236f3ac tcp.7: Clarify tcp_tw_recycle on Internet-facing hosts
Clarify that tcp_tw_recycle will break communication with many
general-purpose remote Internet hosts (namely, remote NAT devices)
even when the Linux device itself is not behind NAT.

Sources:
  - BCP to make NAT implementors aware of this problem (2013):
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-penno-behave-rfc4787-5382-5508-bis-04#section-3.1.2
  - RFC 1323 (PAWS)
  - RFC 6191: Reducing the TIME-WAIT State Using TCP Timestamps
  - The many users who unknowingly enabled this option on devices
communicating with the general-purpose Internet:

Michael Kerrisk a3e65c937b epoll.7: Use epoll_create1() rather than epoll_create() in the code example
epoll_create1() is more or less the preferred API for new
applications, since it allows for some flags and avoids the
misdesigned epoll_create() argument, and so it seems sensible
to use that in the example, rather than epoll_create().

Mike Frysinger ba7d7ed976 setns.2, pid_namespaces.7: Elaborate discussion of the PID namespace descendant limitation
The setns(2) man page already mentions that CLONE_NEWPID may only
be used with descendant namespaces, but this nuance could be
listed in a few more places so it is not missed.

Michael Kerrisk b69167e19e signal.7: inotify(7) reads no longer show the odd EINTR error after SIGCONT
Since kernel 3.7, reads from inotify(7) file descriptors no longer
show the (Linux oddity) behavior of failing with EINTR when the
process resumes after a stop signal + SIGCONT.
