Tightest solution would probably be to combine both patches.

bool called_by_tuntap;

old_fp = rcu_dereference_protected(sk->sk_filter, called_by_tuntap ?
lockdep_rtnl_is_held() : lockdep_sock_is_held());
Ok, I see what you're saying.

I misunderstood how the RTNL lockdep checks work and thought we could
get false positives from other entities taking RTNL.

Can you cook up the combined patch?

Thanks.
