that's weird, because with these patches whole process (including threads) is moved to the net namespace

Q. Do you know if this new implementation of vsock/netns supports persistent namespaces?

you don't see kata-runtime, because it's not running, it spawns to kata-shim and qemu and finish its execution

yes, please

Thanks for the patches.
I tried it, but unfortunately, it doesn't work with the vsock modules
with netns support.

This is the log, I don't know if can be useful: https://pastebin.com/mG7CfUrV


With the old modules (vsock without netns) it works but looking at the
netns I'm still seeing only kata-shim and qemu:
$ sudo ip netns pids cnitest-1939e49f-19af-3b72-625d-01db153a9fa9
1308
1321
$ ps -p 1308 1321
  PID TTY      STAT   TIME COMMAND
 1308 ?        Sl     0:05 /usr/bin/qemu-vanilla-system-x86_64 -name sandbox-efd90c46d5b8989886
 1321 pts/2    Ssl+   0:00 /usr/libexec/kata-containers/kata-shim -agent vsock://357155431:1024

This is the log with working kata and vsock modules without netns support:

Let me know if I can do other tests or if you want a VM with the vsock
modules with netns support.

Thanks,
Stefano
