OK thanks

I switched HZ from 250 to 1000 and got :

time ip link del vlan.899

real    0m0.011s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.002s

There is a strong dependancy against HZ
BTW, I am using TREE_RCU

# RCU Subsystem
# CONFIG_CLASSIC_RCU is not set
CONFIG_TREE_RCU=y
# CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU is not set
CONFIG_RCU_TRACE=y
CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT=32
# CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_EXACT is not set
CONFIG_TREE_RCU_TRACE=y
# CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU_TRACE is not set
# CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST is not set
# CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_DETECTOR is not set
