There is at least unlocked deletion of net->ipv4.fib_notifier_ops
from net::fib_notifier_ops:
ip_fib_net_exit()
rtnl_unlock()
fib4_notifier_exit()
fib_notifier_ops_unregister(net->ipv4.notifier_ops)
list_del_rcu(&ops->list)
So fib_seq_sum() can't use rtnl_lock() only for protection.
The possible solution could be to use rtnl_lock()
in fib_notifier_ops_unregister(), but this adds
a possible delay during net namespace creation,
so we better use rcu_read_lock() till someone
really needs the mutex (if that happens).

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
