Comment 61 for bug 1711407

Hi Dan,

so for the first kernel (linux-image-4.13.13-00940-gf16e2bbbddee_4.13.13-00940-gf16e2bbbddee-24_amd64.deb), it failed after some 10 minutes. The outputs are:

Feb 13 22:35:54 prg41-004 kernel: [ 736.399342] unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo (netns ffff9adbfbebb000) to become free. Usage count = 1

(and obviously more of such messages every 10 seconds)

BTW from the timing it seems that the docker image who produced this error might be interrupted with timeout (normally, the dockers images we run on the machine live for few seconds only).

Will post the second kernel soon.
