Ido Schimmel found steps to reproduce ip link add name team1 type team ip link add name dummy1 mtu 1499 master team1 type dummy ip netns add ns1 ip link set dev dummy1 netns ns1 ip -n ns1 link del dev dummy1 and also found that the same issue was fixed in the bond driver in commit f51048c3e07b ("bonding: avoid NETDEV_CHANGEMTU event when unregistering slave"). Let's do similar thing for the team driver, with commit ad7c7b2172c3 ("net: hold netdev instance lock during sysfs operations") and commit 303a8487a657 ("net: s/__dev_set_mtu/__netif_set_mtu/") also applied.
