I was wondering about RCU rules here.
We change pointers while a reader might enter in a loop.
It seems fine : At soon as we spin_unlock(), the loop should be closed.

Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@...il.com>

minor coding style : You should add a brace in the else clause :

pprev = &rt_hash_table[i].chain;
for (rth = *pprev; rth != NULL; rth = next) {
	next = rth->dst.rt_next;
	if (net_eq(dev_net(rth->dst.dev), net)) {
		*pprev = next;
		rth->dst.rt_next = list;
		list = rth;
	} else {
		pprev = &rth->dst.rt_next;
	}
}

Thanks !
