unregister_netdevice: waiting for vpn0 to become free. Usage count = 23

This bug, which has been introduced with kernel 2.6.8, is still present
in this release and requires a reboot if a program using a tun device is
being killed (in my case, a vpn daemon).

(more details: when killing gvpe, which simply closes the tun device
socket, the process doesn't end and the kernel spews the above or a very
similar line out every few seconds. The only way to restore it into a
usable state is to reboot).

This problem is only happening with the debian kernel images, the kernels
I build myself (tested with 2.6.11-rc3, 2.6.12.1 and 2.6.12.5) od not have
this problem and work fine.

Version: 2.6.16-8

Hi Marc,
The fixes for the unregister_netdevice problems you've experienced went into the 2.6.16.6 upstream release of the kernel, and they've got incorporated into today's upload of linux-2.6 2.6.16-8. Thus I'm closing the bugs accordingly. 

Thanks for reporting (and patience),
