> the test kernel you were using had this one [1] included? It's
upstream commit f186ce61bb82

no that commit doesn't help, because the issue isn't one of dst refcount
leaks or delayed dst gc, the problem is kernel sockets that haven't
closed yet holding a reference to the netns lo interface device via
their dsts.

I do think I have a possible fix for this though, and I have some test kernels 
building in this ppa (please note they are currently building and will take a 
few more hours to finish):
https://launchpad.net/~ddstreet/+archive/ubuntu/lp1711407


can anyone please test with any of those kernels (they all contain the patch to 
maybe fix this)?  In my testing it eliminated the problem completely, but I'd 
like to get some more diverse real-world testing before starting an upstream 
discussion on the patch.
