Shouldn't it be register_pernet_gen_subsys ?
No, I believe. By using  register_pernet_gen_device I'm allowed to
not modify 'struct net' and friends and keep all I need in my own
pointer retrieved thru per-net gen-device id I've registered.
I believe Daniel means, that we need the register_xxx_get_subsys call
for subsystems, rather than devices, that will behave according to the
generic net pointers.

Daniel, am I right with this suggestion?

Correct, otherwise that can lead to a kernel panic if you receive a packet while the namespace is exiting.

Ah, yes, just checked register_pernet_gen_subsys -- it's what I need. Thanks!
You are welcome :)
