We will get rid of RTNL from RTM_NEWROUTE and SIOCADDRT and rely on RCU to guarantee dev and nexthop lifetime. Then, we want to allocate as much as possible before entering the RCU section. The RCU section will start in the middle of ip6_route_info_create(), and this is problematic for ip6_route_multipath_add() that calls ip6_route_info_create() multiple times. Let's split ip6_route_info_create() into two parts; one for memory allocation and another for nexthop setup.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
