BTW, it's against the Linux kernel coding style to use // for comments.

I can take this patch, but I need to change this to:

/*
* Pairs with the smp_store_release in set_tracer_flag() to ensure that
* if we observe a non-NULL tgid_map then we also observe the correct
* tgid_map_max.
*/

Same with the other comments. Please follow coding style that can be
found in:

Documentation/process/coding-style.rst

And see section 8 on Commenting.

Thanks,
