Subject: iproute2: potential upgrade regression with 58a3e827

Hi,
The commit
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/shemminger/iproute2.git/commit/?id=58a3e8270fe72f8ed92687d3a3132c2a708582dd
could be potentially introducing a regression on an upgrade.

I've noticed that upgrading iproute while there are active namespaces
could cause the following error:
seting the network namespace failed: Invalid argument

Here's a test case:
Build and install iproute2 with 4395d48c78a77a99c5a8618403211032356fe552

In one terminal run:
ip netns add netns_old
ip link add name if_old type veth peer name if_old_peer
ip link set dev if_old_peer netns netns_old
ip netns exec netns_old bash

Build and install iproute2 with 58a3e8270fe72f8ed92687d3a3132c2a708582dd

In the same terminal as you typed the original commands run:
ip netns add netns_one
ip link add name if_one type veth peer name if_one_peer
ip link set dev if_one_peer netns netns_one
ip netns exec netns_one bash
ip netns exec netns_old bash

You'll get:
seting the network namespace failed: Invalid argument

If you just run the above without transitioning to the code in 58a3e827,
then it works.

Thanks,
