the comment doesn't really explain why it is safe. THere are other users
which are not using the lock. E.g. just look at free_swap_slot above.
How can
cache->slots_ret[cache->n_ret++] = entry;
be safe wrt.
pentry = &cache->slots[cache->cur++];
entry = *pentry;
Both of them might touch the same slot, no? Btw. I would rather prefer
this would be a follow up fix with the trace and the detailed
explanation.
