kernfs_find_and_get_node_by_ino() uses RCU protection. It's currently a bit buggy because it can look up a node which hasn't been activated yet and thus may end up exposing a node that the kernfs user is still prepping. While it can be fixed by pushing it further in the current direction, it's already complicated and isn't clear whether the complexity is justified. The main use of kernfs_find_and_get_node_by_ino() is for exportfs operations. They aren't super hot and all the follow-up operations (e.g. mapping to path) use normal locking anyway. Let's switch to a dumber locking scheme and protect the lookup with kernfs_idr_lock.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
