I have -tip commit a898def29e4119bc01ebe7ca97423181f4c0ea2d that
converts some of the rcu_dereference()s in net/core/filter.c,
net/core/dev.c, net/decnet/dn_route.c, net/packet/af_packet.c, and
net/ipv4/route.c to rcu_dereference_bh().

How should we coordinate the removal of the rcu_read_lock() calls?

							Thanx, Paul
