Re: Getting a NIC's MTU size

One further question: If I want to get the MTU size of the NIC through
which packets will go to get to a particular peer, can I do:

As has been suggested or at least hinted to by others, you have to use
the route dst's device pointer.

So I gather.  My query was intended to be about the safety of accessing the
dst->dev pointer.  Can I just dereference it?  Or do I need to take a lock or
use RCU?
