The intended semantics of --netns-only are pretty unclear to me. It's
intended for pasta, but it's not clear whether its saying the spawned shell
should only enter the target netns, or that the passt/pasta packet
forwarding process should only sandbox itself in a network namespace, not
a user namespace.
In any case, as far as I can tell there's not actually any case in which
the --netns-only option will work. If nothing else, we will always fail
in sandbox(), because it attempts a number of operations which require
CAP_SYS_ADMIN in our current user namespace. We drop all capabilities in
our initial user namespace when we start, so the only way we can have
CAP_SYS_ADMIN at this point is if we've joined a new user namespace, which
we won't do with --netns-only.
For pasta joining an existing namespace (the apparently intended use case), we'll actually fail before
we'll fail before we get to that point: in conf_ns_check() we'll attempt
to join the target network namespace. This also requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN in
both our current user namespace and the user namespace which owns the
target network namespace. Again, since we've dropped capabilities in our
original namespace this will never be the case.
For pasta creating its own network namespace we'll fail for a similar
reason in yet another place. This time we'll fail in nl_sock_init() again
because we attempt to enter the new network ns via NS_CALL without having
regained CAP_SYS_ADMIN by joining a new user namespace. Because this
happens after spawning the shell, it results in a weird failure mode, where
the pasta spawned shell is running, but pasta isn't actually handling
packets. Exiting the shell will lead to a hang until the process is
explicitly killed.
Since there's no way to invoke it, remove this feature.
