Hello,

as an unprivileged user one is able to keep network namespaces from expiring by opening /proc/<pid>/net/dev of other processes. I've previously put this on stackexchange [1] and then bugzilla [2]. That's been a while though, so posting here for a bit more visibility in case it's something that's worth fixing.

The proper place to send networking bugs/issues is to the networking developers themselves, at netdev@vger.kernel.org. Try sending it there, no kernel developers use stackexchange for development :) thanks, greg k-h
