Can you rewrite that second sentence, it reads a bit awkward and I'm
unclear as to the meaning.

There is no "hooks.h" at this point in the patchset.

In order for 'git bisect' to remain useful (and it can be a very handy
tool), we need to ensure that each point in the patchset compiles
cleanly.

It looks like you are missing a rcu_read_unlock() in this case.

Also, given how simplistic the evaluation is in this case, why not
just do it here, saving the assignment, jump, etc.?

  if (ctx->op == INVALID) {
    rcu_read_unlock()
    if (global_action == DENY)
      return -EACCES;
    return 0;
  }

Why not break from this loop once evaluate_property() returns false?

This can just be 'return 0;' right?
