This should be:
	rcu_read_lock();
	pps = idr_find(&pps_idr, iminor(inode));
	rcu_read_unlock();
	if (pps) {
		file->private_data = pps;
		kobject_get(&pps->dev->kobj);
		err = 0;
	}

It's only the internal structures of idr that need rcu barriers.

Your maintainer should be letting you know about this:

Subject: [PATCH 41/62] pps: convert to idr_alloc()
Date: Sat, 2 Feb 2013 17:20:42 -0800

Convert to the much saner new idr interface.

Only compile tested.

This patch depends on an earlier idr changes and I think it would be
best to route these together through -mm.  Please holler if there's
any objection.  Thanks.
