May be we have to add some new global flag for this in ip_vs_ftp.c: static bool removing; We will set it in ip_vs_ftp_exit() before calling unregister_pernet_subsys() and the above check will become: if (!ipvs || !removing) Also, we have to add Fixes tag, this looks the one that starts to remove apps from netns exit handler: Fixes: 61b1ab4583e2 ("IPVS: netns, add basic init per netns.")
