Understood.

So, I would say this was a regression since earlier preemption was
not disabled and we would dereference RCU-protected pointers explicitly
i.e. without using the more appropriate rcu_dereference() family
of primitives. That being said, these pointers cannot change in this
context as explained previously.

Would the above be suitable - just to confirm before I send another
iteration?

Yes, I would send this to Linus for the rc series. Please adjust the
commit log with all this information.

Will do.

BTW I think there is just one more fix pending from you right?

Yes - I will send/or prepare it as a partial revert:
's/strscpy/strlcpy/' with a brief explanation.


Kind regards,
