In some environments, such as a LXD container, the netns setup might fail because ip netns exec fails trying to mount /sys: $ systemd-detect-virt lxc $ ip link add dummy-test-exec type dummy $ ip netns add test-execute-netns $ ip netns exec test-execute-netns ip link add dummy-test-ns type dummy mount of /sys failed: Operation not permitted If this setup fails, test_exec_networknamespacepath will fail, so check the exit codes for these setup calls and skip the test if necessary.
