ok that seems expected then. This doesn't 'fix' the problem of the leaked dst (and namespace), just prevents blocking further net namespace creation/deletion.

there is a limit, yes, and once it's hit namespace cleanup will essentially stop, and all further net namespaces will be leaked. However, there's really just no way to avoid that without fixing the actual dst leaks, which I'd still like to try to add debug to help identify.

I've been busy elsewhere last week but I'll prepare the patch to send upstream this week, and then look at adding debug to actually find the dst leak.

Thanks!
