Hello!
While reviewing rcu_dereference() uses, I came across a number of cases
where I couldn't see how the rcu_dereference() helped. One class of
cases is where the variable is never subsequently dereferenced, so that
patches like the following one would be appropriate.
So, what am I missing here?
Nothing, it was mainly intended as documentation that the hooks are
protected by RCU. I agree that its probably more confusing this way
since we're not even in a rcu_read_lock protected section.
I've queued a patch to remove them all.
