Public bug reported:
[Impact]
When creating ip6gre interfaces in network namespaces, device references are
not held, preventing further network namespaces from being created.
[Test case]
sudo modprobe ip6_gre
unshare -Urn true
unshare -Urn true
The second unshare won't work and there will be "unregister_netdevice:
waiting for ip6gre0 to become free. Usage count = -1" messages on kernel
log.
[Potential regression]
ip6gre users can observe regressions.
