It works with a minor 'cut & paste' fixup.
(Not nested inside a program that changes namespaces.)

Although if it is reasonable for /proc/net -> /proc/tid/net
why not just make /proc/thread-self -> /proc/tid
Then /proc/net can just be thread-self/net

I have wondered if the namespace lookup could be done as a 'special'
directory lookup for "net" rather that changing everything when the
namespace is changed.
I can imagine scenarios where a thread needs to keep changing
between two namespaces, at the moment I suspect that is rather
more expensive than a lookup and changing the reference counts.

Notwithstanding the apparmor issues, /proc/net could actuall be
a symlink to (say) /proc/net_namespaces/namespace_name with
readlink returning the name based on the threads actual namespace.

I've also had problems with accessing /sys/class/net for multiple
namespaces within the same thread (think of a system monitor process).
The simplest solution is to start the program with:
ip netne exec namespace program 3</sys/class/net
and the use openat(3, ...) to read items in the 'init' namespace.

FWIW I'm pretty sure there a sequence involving unshare() that
can get you out of a chroot - but I've not found it yet.

The 11 is the length so needs to be 4.
This block can also be put first - to reduce churn.
