Page reporting fetches pr_dev_info using rcu_access_pointer(), which is
for safely fetching a pointer that will not be dereferenced but could
concurrently updated. The code indeed does not dereference pr_dev_info
after fetching it using rcu_access_pointer(), but it fetches the pointer
while concurrent updates to the pointer is avoided by holding the update
side lock, page_reporting_mutex.
In the case, rcu_dereference_protected() should be used instead because it
provides better readability and performance on some cases, as
rcu_dereference_protected() avoids use of READ_ONCE(). Replace the
rcu_access_pointer() calls with rcu_dereference_protected().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
