Following up to requests to fix this in 7.2. As has been discussed previously (bug #1333983 comment #21), this is non-trivial and somewhat risky to backport to the 7.2 code base :( Bronce, Yuri, I'd be very thankful if you could help me the use case, in particular the reason behind restarting NetworkManager. That way we could perhaps find an alternative solution/workaround.

The networking dies due to this issue. This is very severe.

The networking dies due to this issue. This is > very severe. Note that this is probably a different issue. The original bug report dealt with NetworkManager not being able to pick up a device on start when it lacked L3 configuration. The issue you're experiencing seems to be in the shutdown path. I think the actual bug you're experiencing is tracked in bug #1371126 Fixed in 7.3, not feasible for 7.2. |
