I don't think this change is a good idea.  Now that you've just switched
to a list call into core_disable_device_list_for_node with the lock
instead of retaking it and restart the list walk after it instead of
encoding the previous wrong behavior with the local mapped_lun
variable.  Note that this patter is the same for all all but one of the
callers, and even core_dev_del_initiator_node_lun_acl would benefit
from being called locked and with an already looked up dev entry.

Note that if you cherry picked this patch I posted a while ago
to be before the series one of the callers would already be gone:

This only updates scalar fields, the synchronize_rcu() calls isn't
going to buy you anything.

Btw, it would be good to always document what a synchronize_rcu()
call code is for.

Just use kfree_rcu instead of open coding it.

It would be good to assert that.  Paul, is there a good way to assert
we're called under rcu_read_lock?

The case where we have an original one is the demo mode -> explicit
change.  So I don't think we actually need the newly allocate dev
entry here.  Just change lun_flags like in core_update_device_list_access
and do an rcu_assign_pointer for the lun ACLs.

Please add a comment why we need the synchronize_rcu here again.  Nothing
is delete from any list, and nothing is freed so I don't see any need
to wait for a grace period.

Can you document the life time rules that ensure ->se_lun and ->se_lun_acl
stay around while readers in the RCU grace period may still access them?
