[ Upstream commit 1748f6a2cbc4694523f16da1c892b59861045b9d ]
The rcu_dereference call in rht_ptr_rcu is completely bogus because
we've already dereferenced the value in __rht_ptr and operated on it.
This causes potential double readings which could be fatal. The RCU
dereference must occur prior to the comparison in __rht_ptr.
This patch changes the order of RCU dereference so that it is done
first and the result is then fed to __rht_ptr. The RCU marking
changes have been minimised using casts which will be removed in
a follow-up patch.

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.
