maintainerHi Stefano!
I found you patches from 2020 adding netns support to vsock. I got an internal ping from someone trying to run VMMs inside containers. Any plans on pushing that work forward? Is there a reason you stopped, or just EBUSY?

IIRC nothing too difficult to solve, but as you guessed more EBUSY ;-)
Maybe the more laborious one is somehow exporting a netdev interface into the guest to assign the device to a netns. But I hadn't tried to see if that was feasible yet. I have some notes here:
https://gitlab.com/vsock/vsock/-/issues/2
I've been planning to take it up several times but haven't found time for now, if there's anyone interested I'm happy to share information and help with review and feedback. Otherwise I try to allocate some time, but I can't promise anything in the short term.
Do you have time or anyone interested in continuing the work?
Thanks,
Stefano

Makes sense, thanks for the info!

Depending on the priority compared to other work, as usual :(
There was a small chance you'd say "I'm planning to do it next month" and I wouldn't have to worry at all, so I thought I'd ask ;)

Yeah, I know :-)
Let's keep updated if plans change!
