vsock network namespaces let a host put each VM in a namespace of its own. A guest has no equivalent yet. It has a single G2H device that cannot be assigned to a network namespace.
This series lets a guest move that device into a network namespace. A new generic netlink family, "vsock", supports the command VSOCK_CMD_DEV_NETNS_SET which assigns the device to the namespace the request was sent from. The namespace's existing ns_mode then decides who may use it: a "global" namespace shares the device with every other global namespace, and a "local" namespace keeps the host connection to itself. The device starts out in the initial namespace, so until the command is issued nothing has moved and no mode has changed. There is no explicit unassign as assigning the device back to the initial namespace is equivalent. The command requires CAP_NET_ADMIN in the initial user namespace, so that an unprivileged user namespace cannot claim the device. Connections that can no longer reach the device after a move are reset, so that a namespace which has lost access cannot keep using a socket it opened while it still had access. Following netdevs, the device returns to the initial namespace when the namespace it was moved to is deleted. Transports opt in through a new netns_assign_allow flag. Only virtio-vsock sets it here, because it is the only guest transport that I am able to test against.
