I have the same issue, and I dump the vmcore, and find dst cache, hope it has some help. this leaked dst is in dst_busy_list, except dst_busy_list, nowhere I can find it in ============================== First case:

Any further reports of the problem should please be reported here instead of that bug. -- [Impact] When shutting down and starting containers the container network namespace may experience a dst reference counting leak which results in this message repeated in the logs: unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 1 This can cause issues when trying to create net network namespace and thus block a user from creating new containers.
