Is this really called under rtnl?

Yes it is __tun_chr_ioctl() will call rtnl_lock().

If no then rtnl_dereference
is wrong. If yes I'm not sure you can call synchronize_net
under rtnl.


Are you worrying about the long wait? Looking at synchronize_net(), it does:

void synchronize_net(void)
{
    might_sleep();
    if (rtnl_is_locked())
        synchronize_rcu_expedited();
    else
        synchronize_rcu();
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(synchronize_net);

Thanks
