I took a look through our test suites to see where we may have coverage for this. There is a netns series of tests in LTP [1], but we've had trouble getting them running successfully in the past and so they are being skipped. I don't know if it would have caught this particular issue, but I'll find out, and also see if we can get them working and running again. We also run the net/ tests in kselftest, but there aren't that many, and of course running kselftest the way we do is not a well supported usecase (running all of 4.17 kselftest against 4.4 kernels, skipping tests that are broken). So I would ask, how would net/ expect such things to be tested, and what can we do to help? Dan [1] https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/tree/master/testcases/kernel/containers/netns
