Subject: RE: Re: [RFC v4 PATCH 00/13] HARDENED_ATOMIC

> I have a coccinelle rule now that found about 15 usages of it. 

>Right, so can coccinelle detect the call_rcu/free call that is conditional on the dec_and_test when its hidden inside a few function calls?

Yes, it can. However, I haven't expanded the rule yet to cover cases when "hidden inside a few function calls" goes outside of one .c or .h file. Coccinelle supports that, but I have to experiment fist if it doesn't bring more false positives that current setup. 

>Also, we should really have a "make spatch" target so that we can run the thing concurrently with -j80 or somesuch, because as is coccinelle is unbearably slow.

The currents rules are very simple, the full run on the whole tree even without any pre-indexing, multithreading and etc. takes around 1 min only.
