Subject: INFO: suspicious rcu_dereference_check()

I've enabled rcu correctness for my  todays 2.6.34-rc2 kernel.

I'm getting this INFO: from my kvm guest (which uses host's nfs
exported directory.)
This

===================================================
[ INFO: suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage. ]
---------------------------------------------------
fs/nfs/delegation.c:348 invoked rcu_dereference_check() without protection!

other info that might help us debug this:
