Subject: [PATCH net-next 5/6] selftests/vsock: test the guest vsock device network namespace
Date: Wed, 02 Sep 2026 16:00:51 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260902-vsock-guest-ns-v1-5-9995383e9a8b@meta.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260902-vsock-guest-ns-v1-0-9995383e9a8b@meta.com>

From: Bobby Eshleman <bobbyeshleman@meta.com>

Add six tests covering basic cases and hopefully most edge cases: normal
transfer in both directions, namespaces being deleted, device movement
between namespaces mid-socket-lifetime.

The namespaces are created with "unshare -n" and held open by a sleeping
process rather than by ip netns because bind-mounting namespaces via ip
netns is incompatible with the guest 9p rootfs.
