Well, at least WRITE_ONCE()'s look certainly unneeded to me, gp_state
is protected by rss_lock.

WARN_ON_ONCE(gp_state) can read gp_state lockless, but even in this case
I do not understand what READ_ONCE() tries to prevent...

Nevermind, this won't hurt and as I already said I don't understand the
_ONCE() magic anyway ;)

Thanks,

Oleg.
