The ucounts element is looked up under ucounts_lock. This can be optimized by using RCU for a lockless lookup and return and element if the reference can be obtained. Replace hlist_head with hlist_nulls_head which is RCU compatible. Let find_ucounts() search for the required item within a RCU section and return the item if a reference could be obtained. This means alloc_ucounts() will always return an element (unless the memory allocation failed). Let put_ucounts() RCU free the element if the reference counter dropped to zero.

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 reStructuredText 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.
