When devlink instance is put into network namespace and that network namespace gets deleted, devlink instance is moved back into init_ns. This is done as a part of cleanup_net() routine. Since cleanup_net() is called asynchronously from workqueue, there is no guarantee that the devlink instance move is done after "ip netns del" returns. So fix this race by making sure that the devlink instance is present before any other operation.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
