This should become an atomic_long_t increment, yes..?

Yes, this helper is from your patch above.
Considering there is a single user of it here, and complexities involved
for a RCU conversion + bisect, is it really work adding as a separate

Why doesn't se_dev_entry release this need to wait for the special case
references to drop..?

Ok, will update the changelog for this.

Nice catch. Dropping this unused pointer now.
