Indeed. rtnl_notify() already accepts gfp_t.

The following diff fixes it for me:

Nicolas, I've sent you my .config.
Any better ideas?

Just nitpiking: putting the type and the name on the same line is better 
'unsigned change'.

'gfp_t flags' should be aligned with 'int type'

I got some pb with my testbed, hence I still didn't reproduce the bug.
I will make more test today, but I think this is the right patch.

> Any better ideas?
No and the patch is right for me (__dev_set_promiscuity() call
audit_log(..., GFP_ATOMIC) already).

Still not reproduced with your config.
But as I said, I think your patch is the right thing to do.
