Subject: [PATCH net v2 1/3] selftests/vsock: change tests to respect write-once child ns mode
Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2026 10:10:36 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260218-vsock-ns-write-once-v2-1-19e4c50d509a@meta.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260218-vsock-ns-write-once-v2-0-19e4c50d509a@meta.com>

From: Bobby Eshleman <bobbyeshleman@meta.com>

The child_ns_mode sysctl parameter becomes write-once in a future patch
in this series, which breaks existing tests. This patch updates the
tests to respect this new policy. No additional tests are added.

Add "global-parent" and "local-parent" namespaces as intermediaries to
spawn namespaces in the given modes. This avoids the need to change
"child_ns_mode" in the init_ns. nsenter must be used because ip netns
unshares the mount namespace so nested "ip netns add" breaks exec calls
from the init ns. Adds nsenter to the deps check.
