FTR, I agree using a refcount could be a better approach (and would
avoid keeping the RCU lock held across seq start/stop which sounds
dangerous, too.

@Stefan: in any case before your next submission, please have test run
with a debug build, so that the run-time checker could catch similar issue.

Side minor nit: your  'Fixes' tag should come before your Sob in the tag
area.

Cheers,

Paolo
