I think, now has to be rcu_assign_pointer.

 * Initialize an RCU-protected pointer in special cases where readers
 * do not need ordering constraints on the CPU or the compiler.  These
 * special cases are:
 *
 * 1.   This use of RCU_INIT_POINTER() is NULLing out the pointer *or*
 * 2.   The caller has taken whatever steps are required to prevent
 *      RCU readers from concurrently accessing this pointer *or*
 * 3.   The referenced data structure has already been exposed to
 *      readers either at compile time or via rcu_assign_pointer() *and*
 *
 *      a.      You have not made *any* reader-visible changes to
 *              this structure since then *or*
 *      b.      It is OK for readers accessing this structure from its
 *              new location to see the old state of the structure.  (For
 *              example, the changes were to statistical counters or to
 *              other state where exact synchronization is not required.)

We used to apply 2 from the seqcount, and 3 does not apply here.

Hmm. Ok, I think.

So, if we are add_excl_fence and cancelling a shared-list, before we
return we guarantee that the shared-list is set to zero if excl is set
as we read.

If we add to shared-list during the read, ... Hmm, actually we should
return num_list, i.e.

do {
	*list = rcu_dereference(obj->fence);
	num_list = *list ? (*list)->count : 0;
	smp_rmb();
} while (...)

return num_list.

as the relationship between the count and the fence entries is also
determined by the mb in add_shared_fence.

Oops, that was an oversight in the previous review.

rcu_assign_pointer again I believe.
