Description

Description:
In our Kubernetes Cluster, with Calico network plugin we are using docker server 17.04.0-ce.
None of the container on worker node is using docker bridgedocker0. Either host or none docker network is being used.

Issue: the kernel log (kern.log) is getting filled with messages
unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth0 to become free. Usage count = 2
Every minute around 15 such messages are getting logged into the Kernel log

Research direction

The report provides no repository file, test, or entry point. Start by reproducing the repeated unregister_netdevice messages with the stated Docker, Kubernetes, Calico, Ubuntu, and kernel versions, then trace the involved network lifecycle. Done means identifying the cause and preventing the recurring kernel-log messages without breaking container networking.
