since this is exported, shouldn't you have BUG_ON(preemptible()) here
isnce you're using this_cpu_ptr()?

At least the comment to the function should describe the context in
which this can be used.

It also looks like these arrays are protected with rcu locks, so don't
you need to do rcu_read_lock() before looking at these?
