So you want the helper to be this?
static bool tcm_vhost_check_endpoint()
{
struct tcm_vhost_tpg **vs_tpg;
vs_tpg = rcu_dereference_check(vq->private_data, 1);
if (vs_tpg)
return true;
else
return false
}
And what difference code the compiler will generate with this:
static bool tcm_vhost_check_endpoint()
{
if (rcu_dereference_check(vq->private_data, 1))
return true
else
return false
}

All the caller are in the vhost thread. Why need vq mutex to be taken?
