Hi James,
If I understand the issue correctly, then the race is:
step 1: cpu 1: starts a new rcu batch (i.e. rcp-cur++, smb_mb)
step 2: cpu 2: completes the quiet state
step 3: cpu 2: reads pointer 0x123 (ptr to a rcu protected struct)
step 4: cpu 3: call_rcu(0x123): rcu protected struct

No it's not.
The point about the indirect calls is that we can do it for other things

Any reason why daemonized kthread still uses 1,1 special pids?
Actually, I guess the reason is that this was not possible before.
Now that set_special_pids uses struct pid we can do this.
Perhaps it is better to move the callsite to reparent_to_kthreadd()

In a desperate attempt to screw up /proc one more time, I added some
proc fixes, wrote test module which creates and removes simple proc
file, then ran a) modprobe/rmmod loop, b) cat /proc/foo/bar loop,
c) LTP loop. So far so good -- survived overnight run.

Hi,
I would like to request a feature in the Linux kernel that would allow
a user to unplug a live read-only root file system which exists on a
detachable storage device such as a USB key drive. The desired
behavior is that once the same device is reattached to the computer
the user can continue

We can do even better.
