Oh, by the way, I forgot something important you spotted with the list

When looking at ipv6/fib_hash.c with Benjamin, we need to browse the
network namespaces list for the garbage collecting, but we are in an
interrupt handler, so I can not use rtnl_lock.
where exactly....

Actually, it is in net/ipv6/ip6_fib.c, in fib6_clean_all().

fib6_clean_all() is called by fib6_run_gc() handler of the ip6_fib_timer. If we don't want to have one such timer per net namespace, in fib6_clean_all() we have to go through all net to clean their own
fib_table_hash (using for_each_net() protected by rtnl_lock).

after careful thinking, one timer per/namespace looks better for me :)
