Thank you for having updated this comment.

Now that guard()() is being used, the local variable 'ret' can be 
eliminated. The if (READ_ONCE() ...) statement can be changed into the
following: return (READ_ONCE(map->word) & word_mask) != word_mask;
and "return ret;" can be changed into "return false;". Additionally,
the indentation depth can be reduced by changing "if (depth > 0) {" ...
into "if (depth == 0) return false;".

Otherwise this patch looks good to me.

Thanks,

Bart.
