Re: [PATCH 5/6] pci/p2pdma: Track pgmap references per resource, not globally

Thanks Dan, this is great. I think the changes in this series are
cleaner and more understandable than the patch set I had sent earlier.

However, I found a couple minor issues with this patch:

I missed this on my initial review, but it became obvious when I tried
to test the series: this is a NULL dereference seeing pdev->p2pdma was
set to NULL a few lines up.

When I fix this by storing p2pdma in a local variable, the patch set
works and never seems to crash when I hot remove p2pdma memory.

Using RCU here makes sense to me, however I expect we should be using
the proper rcu_assign_pointer(), rcu_dereference() and __rcu tag with
pdev->p2pdma. If only to better document what's being protected with the
new RCU calls.
