The important part of qrtr_port_lookup() wrt synchronization is that the function returns a reference counted struct qrtr_sock, or fail. As such we need only to ensure that an decrement of the object's refcount happens inbetween the finding of the object in the idr and qrtr_port_lookup()'s own increment of the object. By using RCU and putting a synchronization point after we remove the mapping from the idr, but before it can be released we achieve this - with the benefit of not having to hold the mutex in qrtr_port_lookup().

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.
