Mcvlan phantom network dm-xxxxxxxxxx reported using parent interface eth0

Docker Engine Swarm
1

I have containers running inside swarm which which I wanted to assign a fixed ip on the host network.
I have defined following setup:

service 1

version: "3"

services:

  openhab:
    image: openhab/openhab:2.4.0
    hostname: openhab
    networks:
      - monitor
      - proxy     
      - oh-macvlan
 ........

service 2

version: "3"

services:

  sb-server:
    image: lukics/sb-server:armv7
    ports:
      - 9000:9000
      - 9090:9090
      - 3483:3483
    hostname: sb-server
    networks:
      - monitor
      - proxy
      - sb-macvlan
.....

on each swarm node:

docker network create --config-only --subnet 192.168.3.0/24 --gateway 192.168.3.1 --ip-range 192.168.3.168/32 -o parent=eth0  oh-config
docker network create --config-only --subnet 192.168.3.0/24 --gateway 192.168.3.1 --ip-range 192.168.3.169/32 -o parent=eth0  sb-config

on the swarm:

docker network create -d macvlan  --scope swarm --config-from oh-config oh-macvlan
docker network create -d macvlan  --scope swarm --config-from sb-config sb-macvlan

network ls:

d1ad0251dddf        oh-config           null                local
1govxjctvgvi        oh-macvlan          macvlan             swarm
ja6ycy1tft1x        proxy               overlay             swarm
a60b23eb3fbd        sb-config           null                local
r8zq4fojpewg        sb-macvlan          macvlan             swarm

I have realised that after a while, when the services a moved from one node to the other or restarted i get following error:

$ docker service ps sb-server_sb-server --no-trunc

The service sb-server_sb-server uses the sb-macvlan (r8zq4fojpewg) network. When the service started on vevedock-02 node error prevented start: network dm-r8zq4fojpewg is already using parent interface eth0.
This network dm-r8zq4fojpewg is persistent on this node and prevents fron this point on starting this service on this node.
I read in the forums that following might help, though a no go for me:

Removing /var/lib/docker/network/files/local-kv.db and restarting docker fixes the issue.

any idea how to fix this by better means?

I found that a PR is on the go for this issue:

And it is true I had a power cycle of the nodes today. I am going to do the workaround and wait for the PR to go through.

Not a fix perhaps but helps too:

docker network prune

and at least my phantom network was gone.
