This bug reproduced with tg3 , mlx4, mlx5 and bonding modules and i beleve that this issue reproduce on each interface that has ifup service.
simple reproduce
1. interfaces is up after reboot or ifup.
2. modprobe -r <module name>
#network interfaces closed and removed
3.systemctl status ifup@<NIC-name>.service
# service is up although the network interface doesn't exist.
This issue not reproduced with kernel 4.9.
when we moved to kernel 4.10 we see this issue.
