Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/1] tap: RCU usage and comment fixes

> The tap_queue and the 'tap_dev' are loosely coupled, not 'macvlan_dev'.

There is another reference to macvlan_dev in that comment, which is therefore
also similarly inaccurate.  You should add an appropriate Fixes: line for
where this inaccuracy was introduced, which is:

Fixes: 6fe3faf86757 ("tap: Abstract type of virtual interface from tap implementation")

> Taking rcu_read_lock a little later seems can slightly reduce rcu read critical section.

This is a separate change from fixing up a comment.
