Hi all,

How about to check /proc/self/ns/user and /proc/self/ns/pid as ioctl_ns06.c
does?

    int exists = access("/proc/self/ns/user", F_OK);

    if (exists < 0)
        tst_res(TCONF, "namespace not available");

Long time ago we tried to avoid forcing config. Is it now considered as better?
(maybe more readable?) Or we would keep checking /proc (or /sys) but add a
comment for required functions?

Kind regards,
Petr
