membarrier reads cpu_rq(remote cpu)->curr->mm without locking.  Use
READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() to remove the data races.

/* exec, kthread_use_mm write this without locks */ ?

Seems good to me.

I notice that kernel/exit.c:exit_mm() also has:

        current->mm = NULL;

I suspect you may want to add a WRITE_ONCE() there as well ?

Thanks,

Good catch.  I was thinking that exit_mm() couldn't execute concurrently
with membarrier(), but that's wrong.
