What does "all SNC nodes sharing an L3 cache should be read and summed" mean?

Drop "Also" - it is a red flag that a new patch is needed.

This new kernfs_find_and_get_ns() call takes a reference on the
kernfs_node before it is returned. Where is that new reference
released or why is it ok not to release the reference?

At this point this comment is not useful.
