What about adding a RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN() in __ip_options_compile() to
protect against future errors? Something like:

----------------------------------%<-------------------------------------
@@ -262,6 +262,9 @@ int __ip_options_compile(struct net *net,
  unsigned char *iph;
  int optlen, l;

+ RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN(!rcu_read_lock_held(),
+ __FUNC__ " needs rcu_read_lock() protection");
+
  if (skb) {
  rt = skb_rtable(skb);
  optptr = (unsigned char *)&(ip_hdr(skb)[1]);
---------------------------------->%-------------------------------------
