Currently, IPv6 multicast code is protected by lock_sock() and inet6_dev->mc_lock, and RTNL is not actually needed. In addition, anycast code is also in the same situation and does not need RTNL at all. This series removes RTNL from net/ipv6/{mcast.c,anycast.c} and finally removes setsockopt_needs_rtnl() from do_ipv6_setsockopt(). v2: https://lore.kernel.org/20250624202616.526600-1-kuni1840@gmail.com v1: https://lore.kernel.org/20250616233417.1153427-1-kuni1840@gmail.com ==================== Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250702230210.3115355-1-kuni1840@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski --- eecbb1692f7af0b2e59c8073136c7e9afb86efb5
