For my education - is it indeed possible and valid to replace spin_lock()
with rcu_read_lock() to prevent list manipulation for a list used by
idr_for_each(), even if that list is otherwise manipulated under the
spinlock ?

Background: we are seeing a crash with the following call trace.

[ 1016.651593] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
...
[ 1016.651693] Call Trace:

I have not tried to track down what exactly is NULL in this case.
Before spending more time on it, I'd like to understand the above
change a little better.

Thanks,
Guenter
