It's pointless, and in fact introduces a bug if two CPU's try to run jbd2_dev_to_name() at the same time. - Ted -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Otherwise, the perf tool stops dies and stops interpreting the trace points when it tries to interpret "jbd2_dev_to_name(REC->dev)" in the print format. So I'll just drop jbd2_dev_to_name() completely for the jbd2 tracepoints. It's not worth it. - Ted -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

In read site, we need to use local_ptr = rcu_dereference(), and then use this local_ptr to read the content. In update site, we should assign/publish the new object/pointer after the content of the new object/pointer is fully initialized, and we can't not touch the object after the pointer assignment. rcu_assign_pointer() is need for the assignement.
