Hu ? That is exactly what i am doing, take reference under rcu,
rcu_unlock print the fence info, drop the fence reference, rcu
lock rinse and repeat ...

Note that the fobj in _existing_ code is access outside the rcu
end that there is an rcu imbalance in that code ie a lonlely
rcu_unlock after the for loop.

So that the existing code is broken.
