I knew, but it is only called conditionally, that is:

 695         if (tun && !tfile->detached) {
...
 710
 711                 synchronize_net();

And it looks like syzbot just skipped this condition, this is why I believe
you still need to respect RCU grace period _unconditionally_ for tfile.

Thanks.
