Re: [PATCH net-next 5/9] sit: convert 6RD configuration to RCU protection
From: Lorenzo Bianconi <hidden>
Date: 2026-09-07 13:00:28
In order to allow lockless readers in future patches, convert 'tunnel->ip6rd' to an RCU protected pointer. Updating 6RD configuration via ipip6_tunnel_update_6rd() or ipip6_tunnel_clone_6rd() now allocates a struct ip_tunnel_6rd_parm and uses rcu_assign_pointer() to publish it, freeing the previous parameters with kfree_rcu(). Readers in check_6rd() and only_dnatted() use rcu_dereference() under existing RCU read lock, preventing torn reads on the 128-bit IPv6 prefix. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

what about using kzalloc_obj() and get rid of the 0 initialization? This is just control path, so I guess it is fine.
