From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <dgilb...@redhat.com> RCU_READ_LOCK_AUTO takes the rcu_read_lock and then uses glib's g_auto infrastrcture (and thus whatever the compilers hooks are) to release it on all exits of the block.
Note this macro has a variable declaration in, and hence is not in a while loop.
