Good point!
But given that I already have preemption disabled and given that
__srcu_read_lock() is not to be used by irq handlers, I should be able to
use __this_cpu_inc(), correct? Just to avoid unnecessary irq disabling
on non-x86 platforms...
Seems to pass a quick build, so trying a bit heavier testing.
Thanx, Paul
