Eric Dumazet says:

====================
macvlan: RTNL-less macvlan_fill_info()

This series removes the RTNL lock dependency from macvlan_fill_info(),
allowing it to run under RCU read lock.

The first patch annotates data races on 'mode' and 'flags' fields which
are accessed locklessly in the RX/TX paths.

The second patch transitions macvlan_fill_info() to RCU, adding necessary
annotations for other fields and handling concurrent updates to the MAC
address list by computing the count dynamically.
