Ok, here is a new debug kernel: http://people.canonical.com/~ddstreet/lp1711407/linux-image-4.13.13-00940-gf16e2bbbddee_4.13.13-00940-gf16e2bbbddee-24_amd64.deb
I didn't use the PPA as this one will dump out quite a lot of debug in the logs all the time. When you reproduce it (which hopefully you can still do, even with the added debug msgs), please check the output to find the address of the leaked dst, e.g.: [ 2833.421135] (netns ffff9f4d77278000): dst ffff9f4d743e9a00 expires 0 error 0 obsolete 2 flags 0 refcnt 1 ops ipv4_dst_ops+0x0/0xc0 creator ip_route_input_rcu+0x6b0/0xd80 would be dst address "ffff9f4d743e9a00". Then, please grep dmesg for that, so you get output similar to: $ dmesg | grep ffff9f4d743e9a00 [ 2823.048309] dst_init: dst ffff9f4d743e9a00 refcnt 1 from __dst_alloc+0x7e/0x100 [ 2823.048312] dst_hold: dst ffff9f4d743e9a00 refcnt 2 from rt_cache_route+0x54/0xe0 [ 2823.048327] dst_hold_safe: dst ffff9f4d743e9a00 refcnt 3 from inet_sk_rx_dst_set+0x7f/0xc0 [ 2823.048453] dst_release: dst ffff9f4d743e9a00 refcnt 2 from skb_release_head_state+0x96/0xa0 [ 2823.048572] dst_hold_safe: dst ffff9f4d743e9a00 refcnt 3 from tcp_add_backlog+0x12f/0x170 [ 2823.048580] dst_release: dst ffff9f4d743e9a00 refcnt 2 from skb_release_head_state+0x96/0xa0 [ 2823.231547] dst_release_immediate: dst ffff9f4d743e9a00 refcnt 1 from free_fib_info_rcu+0x173/0x1c0 [ 2833.421088] (netns ffff9f4d77278000): open sk ffff9f4d766aa100 family 2 state 4 dst_cache (null) rx_dst ffff9f4d743e9a00 creator generic_ip_connect+0x24b/0x4f0 [cifs] [ 2833.421135] (netns ffff9f4d77278000): dst ffff9f4d743e9a00 expires 0 error 0 obsolete 2 flags 0 refcnt 1 ops ipv4_dst_ops+0x0/0xc0 creator ip_route_input_rcu+0x6b0/0xd80 Paste that output here, so I can see the history of the dst refcnt. If you don't see the initial dst_init in the trace, try using /var/log/kern.log instead of dmesg, as dmesg may have rolled over the older logs if you have a lot of output going on. -- 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.
