The helper setup_ns() doesn't work when a net namespace named "ns" is passed to it. For example, in net/mptcp/diag.sh, the name of the namespace is "ns". If "setup_ns ns" is used in it, diag.sh fails with errors: Invalid netns name "./mptcp_connect" Cannot open network namespace "10000": No such file or directory Cannot open network namespace "10000": No such file or directory That is because "ns" is also a local variable in setup_ns, and it will not set the value for the global variable that has been giving in argument. To solve this, we could rename the variable, but it sounds better to drop it, as we can resolve the name using the variable passed in argument instead. The other local variables -- "ns_list" and "ns_name" -- are more unlikely to conflict with existing global variables. They don't seem to be currently used in any other net selftests.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
