I was thinking that the answer you get from radix_tree_tag_get() may be invalid if the tag chain is being modified as you read it. So if you do: rcu_read_lock() ... x = radix_tree_tag_get(r, i, t); ... y = radix_tree_tag_get(r, i, t); ... rcu_read_unlock() Then you can't guarantee that x == y, even though you were holding the RCU read lock. As you suggested, I'll try and come up with a comment modification to this effect.
