So, if this means RTNL is gone for all cls_flower changes, why
do I still see rtnl_lock() in cls_flower.c after all your patches in this set?

For instance:

 366 static void fl_destroy_filter_work(struct work_struct *work)
 367 {
 368         struct cls_fl_filter *f = container_of(to_rcu_work(work),
 369                                         struct cls_fl_filter, rwork);
 370
 371         rtnl_lock();
 372         __fl_destroy_filter(f);
 373         rtnl_unlock();
 374 }

and...

 382         if (!rtnl_held)
 383                 rtnl_lock();

...

1436                 if (!rtnl_held)
1437                         rtnl_lock();


Please explain in your changelog, otherwise it is very confusing.

Thanks.
