__peernet2id() can be protected by RCU as it only calls idr_for_each(), which is RCU-safe, and never modifies the nsid table.
rtnl_net_dumpid() can also do lockless lookups. It does two nested idr_for_each() calls on nsid tables (one direct call and one indirect call because of rtnl_net_dumpid_one() calling __peernet2id()). The netnsid tables are never updated. Therefore it is safe to not take the nsid_lock and run within an RCU-critical section instead.

A nice side-effect of replacing spin_{lock,unlock}_bh() with rcu_spin_{lock,unlock}() in peernet2id() is that it avoids the situation where SoftIRQs get enabled whilst IRQs are turned off.
From bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1384179 (an ancient
4.9.0-0.rc0 kernel):

Note, security_set_bools() calls write_lock_irq(). peernet2id() calls spin_unlock_bh().

Here, pay attention to ib_nl_make_request() which calls spin_lock_irqsave() on a global lock just before calling rdma_nl_multicast(). Thereafter, peernet2id() enables SoftIRQs, and ipoib starts and calls the same path and ends up trying to acquire the same global lock again.
