The comment near rcu_access_pointer() explicitly says: * Return the value of the specified RCU-protected pointer, but omit the * smp_read_barrier_depends() and keep the ACCESS_ONCE(). This is useful * when the value of this pointer is accessed, but the pointer is not * dereferenced, Yet you dereference the pointer... smells like fail to me. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
