Right now your version does exactly the same as reservation_object_get_fences_rcu,
but with a reservation_object_list instead of a fence array.

Can't you change reservation_object_get_fences_rcu to return a
reservation_object_list? All callsites look like they could be easily converted.

So the new patch series would be:
1. Make reservation_object_get_fences_rcu return a reservation_object_list
2. Add optimization
3. Convert reservation_object_copy_fences to use rcu.

Cheers,
