Actually, we can drop the rcu_read_lock as soon as we've acquire the local ref to ctx->vm. So something like, if (!rcu_access_pointer(ctx->vm)) return -ENODEV; - err = -ENODEV; rcu_read_lock(); vm = context_get_vm_rcu(ctx); - if (vm) - err = xa_alloc(&file_priv->vm_xa, &id, vm, - xa_limit_32b, GFP_KERNEL); rcu_read_unlock(); + if (!vm) + return -ENODEV; + + err = xa_alloc(&file_priv->vm_xa, &id, vm, + xa_limit_32b, GFP_KERNEL); if (err) goto err_put; would work. -Chris
