I update the bug title to better match what we're seeing. The oops from the description is indeed just a timeout from some user space task that's stuck on clone().
So it looks like there's something wrong either in the cleanup code when flushing a network namespace (when the last process in the namespace dies) or something wrong with the refcount. ** Summary changed: - stuck on mutex_lock creating a new network namespace when starting a container + clone() hang when creating new network namespace (dmesg show unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free.
