not really, no. It's simply waiting for its reference count to drop to 0, and just broadcasts unregister events periodically hoping that everyone with a reference is listening and does whatever they need to do to drop their references. In this case the socket's dst actually is listening, but the way the dst handles it assumes that the loopback interface will never, ever unregister - the dst shifts its reference count from the interface going down, to its netns's loopback interface. If the interface going down is the netns's loopback interface, then that reference shift doesn't help, of course. So no, there is no simple way for you to tell what it's waiting for. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1711407 Title: unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1711407/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
