I think in this case your ID's are still available, but aren't you
providing a new way
for the inner netns device to escape which we are trying to avoid?

It's why the ids depend on user ns. Only if user ns are the same we allow
to
get an id for a peer netns.

Too late, userns is relatively new, relying on it breaks our existing
assumption.

I don't get your point. netns has been added in kernel after user ns:
acce292c82d4 user namespace: add the framework => 2.6.23
5f256becd868 [NET]: Basic network namespace infrastructure. => 2.6.24

Was it complete on 2.6.x? I doubt...

   As at Linux 3.8, most relevant subsystems supported  user  names‐
       paces,  but  a number of filesystems did not have the infrastruc‐
       ture needed to map user and group IDs  between  user  namespaces.
       Linux  3.9  added the required infrastructure support for many of
       the remaining unsupported filesystems (Plan 9 (9P),  Andrew  File
       System  (AFS),  Ceph,  CIFS,  CODA,  NFS, and OCFS2).  Linux 3.11
       added support the last of the unsupported major filesystems, XFS.

In the kernel, each netns is linked with a user ns.

Are you saying every time we create a netns we have a new userns?
This doesn't make sense for me.
