It looks like this: Message from syslogd@flamingo at Apr 26 00:45:00 ... kernel:unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 4 They seem to coincide with net namespace teardown. The message is emitted by netdev_wait_allrefs(). Forced a kdump in netdev_run_todo, but found that the refcount on the lo device was already 0 at the time we got to the panic. Used bcc to check the blocking in netdev_run_todo. The only places where we're off cpu there are in the rcu_barrier() and msleep() calls. That behavior is expected. The msleep time coincides with the amount of time we spend waiting for the refcount to reach zero; the rcu_barrier() wait times are not excessive. After looking through the list of callbacks that the netdevice notifiers invoke in this path, it appears that the dst_dev_event is the most interesting. The dst_ifdown path places a hold on the loopback_dev as part of releasing the dev associated with the original dst cache entry. Most of our notifier callbacks are straight-forward, but this one a) looks complex, and b) places a hold on the network interface in question. I constructed a new bcc script that watches various events in the liftime of a dst cache entry. Note that dst_ifdown will take a hold on the loopback device until the invalidated dst entry gets freed.
