The result of the reverse bisect between v3.17..v3.18 with the reproducer was: # first bad commit: [34666d467cbf1e2e3c7bb15a63eccfb582cdd71f] netfilter: bridge: move br_netfilter out of the core If I backport this patch plus 7276ca3f on top of v3.17 I no longer get the hang with the simple reproducer (although I suspect a more elaborate reproducer would still trigger the issue).
This isn't a fix because we obviously have issues in later kernels. The 'unregister_netdevice' message could occur for different code paths since there could potentially be many paths that modify the refcnt for the net_device. I'm going to track who is calling 'dev_put' and 'dev_hold' and figure out which code patch is not freeing before we start unregistering the device. I'll focus in on the reproducer I have for now, since this seems similar to the 'shutdown containers with network connections' case. In addition I'm doing a bisect between earlier versions to see where the 'regression' occured. 3.11 seems to pass without regression for 5 threads / 50 iterations. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1403152 Title: unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free.

I saw there are alot of bugs but they seams to relate to older version and are closed, so i decided to file a new one? I run alot of machine with trusty an lxc containers but only these kind of machines produces these errors, all other don't show these odd behavior. thx in advance meno To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/1403152/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
