I assume these message are globally visible even with namespaces?
Can we make this (and the corresponding ct hash message) refer to
the namespace? Otherwise it might be a bit confusing.

This is somewhat peculiar situation.

netns doesn't have unique ID like, say, ifindex.

The only number related to netns is "struct net *". They can be
distinguised by pointer value, but userspace when does clone(CLONE_NEWNET)
do not, obviously, control it and after creation doesn't have a way to find
it out.

And if we print with "%p, net" kernelspace pointer get exposed which is
not nice.

No, that also wouldn't solve the confusion. I guess conntrack is not
the only subsystem which prints netns related messages, so how about
adding an unique identifier that can be associated by userspace?
