Thanks Ross,

----------------------8<----------------------
bool rpc_clnt_xprt_switch_has_addr(struct rpc_clnt *clnt,
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂconst struct sockaddr *sap)
{
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂstruct rpc_xprt_switch *xps;
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂbool ret;

ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂxps = rcu_dereference(clnt->cl_xpi.xpi_xpswitch);

ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂrcu_read_lock();
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂret = rpc_xprt_switch_has_addr(xps, sap);
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂrcu_read_unlock();
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂreturn ret;
}
----------------------8<----------------------

Looks like the simple fix is to just move that rcu_dereference call
inside the rcu_read_lock there.
