What about adding a RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN() in __ip_options_compile() to
protect against future errors? Something like:
----------------------------------%<-------------------------------------
@@ -262,6 +262,9 @@ int __ip_options_compile(struct net *net,
unsigned char *iph;
int optlen, l;
+ RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN(!rcu_read_lock_held(),
+ __FUNC__ " needs rcu_read_lock() protection");
+
if (skb) {
rt = skb_rtable(skb);
optptr = (unsigned char *)&(ip_hdr(skb)[1]);
