I think it depends on why the driver is using a socket. If the driver is a 'user' of a TCP connection that happens to be is a kernel driver then holding the a reference to the namespace is no different to an application socket holding a reference. An example might be nfs/tcp - you need to unmount the filesystem before you can delete the namespace. OTOH if part of a protocol stack is using a socket for internal calls (I think I've seen routing sockets used that way) then the presence of the socket probably shouldn't stop the namespace being deleted. Listening sockets are a slight problem - probably for userspace as well. It would be nicer to be able to get TCP (etc) to error out listening sockets if they are the only thing stopping a namespace being deleted. > In the RDS case, the socket was a user socket, or RDS lacked proper > tracking of all the sockets > so that they can be dismantled properly. I think they probably are sockets created in order act on requests from applications. I think they should have the same effect on namespaces as a direct user socket - you can't delete the socket while the connection is active. Kill all the relevant processes, tell the driver to stop, and you can delete the namespace.
