The solution was: if setns() fails, wait a bit and retry the setns() and continue this loop with a predefined timeout. netns may be created by other app than iproute2, it would be nice to find a generic solution.
David Howells was working on a mount notification mechanism: https://lwn.net/Articles/760714/ https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs.git/log/?h=notifications I don't know what is the status of this series. Regards, Nicolas
