> the test kernel you were using had this one [1] included? It's upstream commit f186ce61bb82
no that commit doesn't help, because the issue isn't one of dst refcount leaks or delayed dst gc, the problem is kernel sockets that haven't closed yet holding a reference to the netns lo interface device via their dsts. I do think I have a possible fix for this though, and I have some test kernels building in this ppa (please note they are currently building and will take a few more hours to finish): https://launchpad.net/~ddstreet/+archive/ubuntu/lp1711407 can anyone please test with any of those kernels (they all contain the patch to maybe fix this)? In my testing it eliminated the problem completely, but I'd like to get some more diverse real-world testing before starting an upstream discussion on the patch. -- 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/1711407 Title: unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free Status in linux package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in linux source package in Trusty: In Progress Status in linux source package in Xenial: In Progress Status in linux source package in Zesty: In Progress Status in linux source package in Artful: In Progress Status in linux source package in Bionic: In Progress Bug description: This is a "continuation" of bug 1403152, as that bug has been marked "fix released" and recent reports of failure may (or may not) be a new bug.

Usage count = 1 This can cause issues when trying to create net network namespace and thus block a user from creating new containers.
