> I don't understand what you mean? Are you referring to the kmem_cache_free that frees the request object at the end of the above function (which you have actually deleted from your reply)? Or are you referring to something inside the i915_gem_request_remove_from_client() call that your comments seem to be in reply to?

Just because a function is locked doesn't make it RCU safe. The fence api has function called fence_get_rcu and it requires that the memory backing the fence should be freed with kfree_rcu, call_rcu, or by calling synchronize_rcu before freeing.
In particular kmem_cache_free wouldn't work as intended, which results in another fence possibly re-using the memory.
Needs a __rcu annotated version of https://cgit.freedesktop.org/~ickle/linux-2.6/commit/?h=tasklet&id=59f63caac74bbea817225e134e51ca97ecd06568
