Now exposed to multiple users, we need to document what the locking
requirements are here. Or add some local locking.
Do you mean locking between relay_create and relay_destroy?
We need a lock around guc->log.runtime.relay_chan as the destroy path is
not ostensibly serialised between multiple potential callers. Ordinarily
I would have said that serialisation for create/destroy/access of
relay_chan was guaranteed by init/fini ordering,
I was also initially thinking that init/fini ordering should take care of synchronization. Checked further and I see that relay_open and relay_destroy are synchronized by relay_channels_mutex and internally if needed through debugfs inode synchronization. So I feel we need not add new lock.
  but that's no longer
clear (based on a 5min read of the patch).

The most important question is "can relay_destroy be called while some
user still has access to the relay_chan?"

   Looks like at the
moment, _create is using struct_mutex,
relay_create and relay_destroy are now to be done outside of struct_mutex.
I will add this documentation to the functions.
