It's been customary to hard-code netns names for all the tests we have, so
maybe it's ok here as well?

Can you pls run the patch through the checkpatch.pl? The formatting
looks wrong, should be 'switch (index)'. Applies to 'if()' elsewhere as
well.

SYS_NOFAIL to avoid separate snprintf?

SYS_NOFAL here as well?


Btw, not sure it makes sense to split that work into 3 patches. After
you first patch the test is broken anyway, so might as well just delete
the script at that point...
