Want some updates to Documentation/process/volatile-considered-harmful.rst
because __data_racy is for patches to add volatile variables ?

  Patches to remove volatile variables are generally welcome - as long as
  they come with a justification which shows that the concurrency issues have
  been properly thought through.

Hmm, debugfs assumes that f_op does not change?
