Making it ip netns add work reliably inside of ip netns exec and
handling all of the permutations is adding a feature.
Understanding why ip netns exec is failing in your specific case sounds
like there may be a missing error message. Clearly you get into a
context where /var/run/netns/netns_old is no the bind mount we would
expect it to be.
I saw nothing that should unmake /var/run/netns/nnetns_old as a mount
point. So something strange is going on.
So you might want to go through and inspect to see what is happening.
Perhaps there is a missing error message somewhere.
Without understanding why that mountpoint fails to exist I can't say if
it is a real bug or if it just something weird caused by using an ip
netns exec it was not designed to be used and is known not to be 100%
robust in.
