Sounds like a reusable routine, have I seen it before?

Kamezawa is in the process of changing these, so you might want to
look at and integrate with those patches when they are ready.

I would not recommend introducing a function that is not used in the
patch.

Can't the read be RCU protected? Do we need a spin lock here?
