[PATCH RFC net-next v4 07/11] vhost/vsock: add netns support

From: Bobby Eshleman
Date: Tue Jun 17 2025 - 00:36:10 EST


From: Bobby Eshleman <bobbyeshleman@xxxxxxxx>

Add the ability to isolate vsock flows using namespaces.

The namespace for a VM is inherited from the PID that opened the
vhost-vsock device.
