As mentioned in the TC Workshop 0x17, our recent changes to tdc broke downstream CI systems like tuxsuite. The issue is the classic problem with rcu/workqueue objects where you can miss them if not enough wall time has passed. The latter is subjective to the system and kernel config, in my machine could be nanoseconds while in another could be microseconds or more. In order to make the suite deterministic, poll for the existence of the objects in a reasonable manner. Talking netlink directly is the the best solution in order to avoid paying the cost of multiple 'fork()' calls, so introduce a netlink based setup routine using pyroute2. We leave the iproute2 one as a fallback when pyroute2 is not available. Also rework the iproute2 side to mimic the netlink routine where it creates DEV0 as the peer of DEV1 and moves DEV1 into the net namespace. This way when the namespace is deleted DEV0 is also deleted automatically, leaving no margin for resource leaks. Another bonus of this change is that our setup time sped up by a factor of 2 when using netlink.

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.
