Hi Pavel,
All three patches look perfectly fine to me.

This is basically means that a net is set for a new device, but
actually this involves two more steps:
1. mark the tun device as "local", i.e. do not allow for it to
move across namespaces.
This is done so, since tun device is most often associated to some
file (and thus to some process) and moving the device alone is not
valid while keeping the file and the process outside.
2. get the tun device's net when tun becomes attached and put one
when it becomes detached.
This is needed to handle the case when a task owning the tun dies,
but a files lives for some more time - in this case we must not
allow for net to be freed, since its exit hook will spoil that file's
private data by unregistering the tun from under tun_chr_close.
I'm not sure what you mean "by file lives on" here. I believe you're talking
about persistent tun devices. ie Those that exist in detached state and are
not attached to any file descriptors.
"net" refcounting logic there looks fine to me.
