Summary

Atomics are not needed for accesses synchronized by a mutex.

There is one unlocked read of the pointer for which the atomic
load doesn't do anything (in terms of limiting races).

Atomics remain for accesses under the NET_EPOCH to provide
READ_ONCE semantics.

There is one unlocked read of the pointer for which the atomic load doesn't do anything (in terms of limiting races).

Does it make sense for this case to have a comment (i.e., explaining why the race is not important)?

This is the unlocked read and it's just an optimization to avoid the lock below (and not an uncommon pattern, so I think it is obvious in context)

Fair enough, I did not look at each case to find the unlocked read and when pointed out in context it's clear enough to me. [That said I don't think a comment wouldn't be out of place]

Possibly these two should remain as atomics as they are used to provide READ_ONCE semantics.
