You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Kernel version 3.19, currently being used as the vivid LTS kernel,
includes support for ipvlan. But at its current state it is unusable as
simply removing an interface with an ip address attached will cause a
kernel crash. The fix is already upstream:

https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/27705f7085ce2e124fac4c280ce824962cc90bb6

Reproducing this is easy (requires a recent version of iproute2, with
support for ipvlan, such as the one in debian/experimental):

ip netns add ns0
ip link add link eth0 ipvl0 type ipvlan mode L3
ip link set dev ipvl0 netns ns0

ip netns exec ns0 bash
ip link set dev ipvl0 up
ip -4 addr add 192.168.0.10/24 dev ipvl0
ip link del dev ipvl0

The last line will cause a kernel crash, with a calltrace that looks
like this:

Can we get the fixes backported to the 3.19 LTS kernel from vivid?
Ideally we would like to have the whole patchset backported:

https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/d91e9015c78af1dc1f8ac4fdcf6118dbc2401668
and
