Re: [PATCH] net_namespace: fixed net_device reference leak

Hi Eric/Lance

 Thanks for taking time to look at the patch. The problem in dst.c's
"dst_ifdown" is that it will never do an actual "dev_put" on the
loopback net device. This results in the loopback net device to be
alive even when the dst goes away.

Thanks
Jojy
