These WARN_ON_ONCE(!rcu_read_lock_held()) seem odd. While I see the point that
you're holding RCU read lock on the lookup, can you elaborate on your RCU usage
here and why it's necessary for delete/update?

I suspect due to the synchronize_rcu() you're using and not using any RCU
accessors but plain memcpy() e.g. in case of the array ...?
