Hello Nic,
Feedback from an RCU expert (which I'm not) would be appreciated here. But my understanding is that lockless_dereference(p) should be used for a pointer p that has *not* been annotated as an RCU pointer. I think in the for-next branch of the target repository that this macro is used to access RCU-annotated pointers. Is that why sparse complains about how lockless_dereference() is used in the target tree ?
Bart.
