linux-next: next-20160301: unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 2

Hi, I got this line every 10 seconds with today's linux-next in a Hyper-V guest, even
when I didn't configure any NIC for the guest:
 
[   72.604249] unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 2
[   82.708170] unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 2
[   92.788079] unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 2
[  102.808132] unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 2
[  112.928166] unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 2
[  122.952069] unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 2

I don't think this is related to the underlying host, since it's related to "lo".

This should be a recent regression, as I remember the January linux-next didn't have
this issue.

Any idea?

The gzip-ed kernel config is attached FYI.

Thanks,

Just a "me too", but I have this problem on a Lenovo Carbon X1 when
running linux-next 20160301.  It worked with 20160225.

I can test patches and I will try to bisect the problem as time allows.

I performed a bisect and found that the following patch introduced the
regression.

  Subject: [PATCH] net: ipv6: Make address flushing on ifdown optional
  
  Currently, all ipv6 addresses are flushed when the interface is configured
  down, including global, static addresses:
  
      $ ip -6 addr show dev eth1
      3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 state UP qlen 1000
          inet6 2100:1::2/120 scope global
             valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
          inet6 fe80::e0:f9ff:fe79:34bd/64 scope link
             valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
      $ ip link set dev eth1 down
      $ ip -6 addr show dev eth1
      << nothing; all addresses have been flushed>>
  
  Add a new sysctl to make this behavior optional. The new setting defaults to
  flush all addresses to maintain backwards compatibility. When the set global
  addresses with no expire times are not flushed on an admin down. The sysctl
  is per-interface or system-wide for all interfaces
  
      $ sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth1.keep_addr_on_down=1
  or
      $ sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.keep_addr_on_down=1
  
  Will keep addresses on eth1 on an admin down.
  
      $ ip -6 addr show dev eth1
      3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 state UP qlen 1000
          inet6 2100:1::2/120 scope global
             valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
          inet6 fe80::e0:f9ff:fe79:34bd/64 scope link
             valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
      $ ip link set dev eth1 down
      $ ip -6 addr show dev eth1
      3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 state DOWN qlen 1000
          inet6 2100:1::2/120 scope global tentative
             valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
          inet6 fe80::e0:f9ff:fe79:34bd/64 scope link tentative
             valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
