Correct, once I get into the state it lasts until a reboot.

So with 4.13-rc3/4 I seem to trigger it easily, often with the first
unplug of the USB eth adapter.

But as I get back closer to 4.12, it seemingly becomes harder to
trigger, but sometimes still happens.

So far, I've not been able to trigger it with 4.12.

I don't think network namespaces are involved?  Though its out of my
area, so AOSP may be using them these days.  Is there a simple way to
check?

I'll also do another bisection to see if the bad point moves back any further.
