If it is the case, I think it is not the proper way to handle that. IMHO, this is the symptom the code which calls this function has a problem with the network namespace and it should be changed to be correct. eg, the code is assuming the network device is never null and so the network namespace can be retrieved from it, a correct fix may be to pass the network namespace as parameter of the function. Returning &init_net if the network device is null will gracefully avoid the kernel oopsing but will lead to some inconsistent behaviour and confusion with what is happening with the namespace. IMO, we should be radical and let the kernel oopsing, giving us only one action which is to fix asap the bug correctly.
