    Heh!!!

    It is worse than that. There are no callers of srcu_barrier() outside
    of RCU and rcutorture. So neither of our patches can possibly have any
    effect whatsoever!

    Given that you have shown that the flush_work() covers the race window I
    was thinking that I was seeing, I will revert mine. Or can you provide
    a detailed sequence of events no SRCU API calls for a given srcu_struct
    fail to happen before happen before the cleanup_srcu_struct() but still
    result in a use-after-free error?

    And here I was thinking that that COVID booster a few days ago hadn't
    impaired my mental abilities. :-/

    Given that there are no srcu_barrier() invocations, any use of call_srcu()
    in an unloadable module is suspect. From what I can see, the only
    invocations of call_srcu() from a module are in fs/dlm/lowcomms.c.
    So can fs/dlm be unloaded? Might it have been unloaded in this test?
    For that matter, why does fs/dlm need a per-instance srcu_struct?
    At first glance, it looks like a single global srcu_struct would
    serve just as well. This would not make srcu_barrier() unnecessary at
    module-unload time, but it would make it so that only one srcu_barrier()
    was required at that time.

    Another possibility is that something is invoking cleanup_srcu_struct()
    too early. If any other use of that same srcu_struct could happen
    concurrently with that cleanup_srcu_struct(), then we could see this
    sort of problem.

    Another possibility, this time within SRCU, is if some set of race
    conditions can result in SRCU's internals doing an extra unnecessary
    grace period. If this race happened for the last synchronize_srcu()
    prior to the cleanup_srcu_struct(), that could explain this issue.

    Thoughts?

    Thanx, Paul
