Eric Dumazet dbca1596bb ping: convert to RCU lookups, get rid of rwlock 
Using rwlock in networking code is extremely risky.
writers can starve if enough readers are constantly
grabing the rwlock.

I thought rwlock were at fault and sent this patch:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2022/6/17/272

But Peter and Linus essentially told me rwlock had to be unfair.

We need to get rid of rwlock in networking code.

README 

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 Restructured Text 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.
