From: zhong jiang <zhongjiang@xxxxxxxxxx> The commit 99b45e7a1ba1 ("memfd: Fix locking when tagging pins") introduces the following warning messages. *WARNING: suspicious RCU usage in memfd_wait_for_pins* It is because we still use radix_tree_deref_slot without read_rcu_lock. We should use radix_tree_deref_slot_protected instead in the case.
