Again. This does two things at once. Move the existing code to a new file
and add the monitoring stuff. Please split it apart.

I have no idea what that return code means.

Some explanation why this is a void pointer and how that function is called
(I assume it's via IPI) would be appreciated.

  *head;

If that ever happens, then you have other problems than a wrong pointer.

Moo. Can't you simply put an index field into struct rdt_resource,
intialize it with the resource ID and use that?
