I did not record logs since it is missing on any Ubuntu versions that can be installed.

Just to confirm, you are requesting the following three commits that are now in David Millers net-next tree?

a143c40 netns: allow to dump netns ids
9a96345 netns: notify netns id events
b111e4e netns: minor cleanup in rtnl_net_getid()

It looks like this commit would also be needed:
