I think I do since vlan pointer may change even when I am holding
rtnl.  rtnl is needed to change features.  rcu is needed to get
the vlan pointer.

No, but the _bh rcu calls seem to be used when dereferencing q->vlan.
I am not sure the reason for that...

Right.  This is why I use rcu to get vlan.  rtnl is needed to avoid
asserts in the feature change code.
