Subject: unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free

Hi,

once every 24 hr we're hitting namespace cleanup bug:

[53432.230745] unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free.

It's reproducible on 3.10.xx
Not clear whether net-next still has it. May be we just didn't run it
long enough.

We've tried to narrow it down over the last month, but didn't go too far.
It can happen on any of our tests. Most of them do: create namespaces,
veth, bridges, run iperf in namespaces, kill them, disconnect
interfaces and so on.

We tried numerous netns specific stress tests, but they all seem to be ok.
It's not clear what combination is causing wrong refcnt.

We tried to add debugging into dst_ifdown() thinking that dev_hold(),
dev_put() combination is causing it somehow, but amount of logs over
24hr is too much.

Similar bug description have been reported on ubuntu forums few times
without real solution. It's not 6549dd43c043

Inside VM with one virtual cpu it hits every 12hr or so.
On physical machine every 24hr or so.

Any advice on where to look or what to try would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Alexei
