Thanks for the review. I'll fix the reference acquisition in
in_dev_get(), returning NULL if refcount_inc_not_zero() fails, and
keep RTM_GETNETCONF unlocked.

I'll review the linked submission and your feedback before preparing
v2. I'll base it on net, use the appropriate subject prefix, trim the
traces to the relevant paths, and allow at least 24 hours between
patch postings.

Best regards,
