Doesn't this need some annotation to make ThreadSanitizer happy?
Would be good to have some commentary why doing so
many write operations with merely a rcu_read_lock as protection is safe.
It might be safer to put some write type operations under a real lock. 
Also it is unclear how the RCU grace period for utasks is enforced.
