By maintining a set of functions to register and unregister netfilter hooks both globally and per network namespace I have managed to write a compact patchset that maintain per network netfilter chains, and registers the nftables netfilter hooks per network namespace. There are lots of other possible and desirable cleanups but this one is a core change needed to make the other changes independent small changes. Eric W.
