Salvatore, I'm going to try and find a way to reproduce this one in my
local setup, which I hope will make this easier to diagnose and fix.
Going by the comments you recently posted, perhaps creating a large
amount of namespaces is a clue, so I will give that a shot.

Title:
  Neutron namespace metadata proxy triggers kernel crash on Ubuntu
  12.04/3.2 kernel

Status in OpenStack Neutron (virtual network service):
  New
Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  New
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  In the past 9 days we have been seeing very frequent occurences of
  this kernel crash: http://paste.openstack.org/show/61869/

  Even if the particular crash pasted here is triggered by dnsmasq, in
  almost all cases the crash is actually triggered by the neutron metada
  proxy.

  This also affects nova badly since this issue, which appears namespace
  related, results in a hang while mounting the ndb device for key
  injection.

  We have seen about 398 hits since the bug started to manifest.
  Decreased hit rate in the past few days is due to less neutron patches being pushed.
