Thank you for updating this. Please read my comments below

max = READ_ONCE(&obj_data->num_traced_obj);

return !READ_ONCE(&obj_data->num_traced_obj);

Since obj_data->num_traced_obj update is protected by obj_data->obj_data_lock,
you don't need atomic operation. What you need is using READ_ONCE() to
access the num_traced_obj outside of this protected area.

This may return -ENOENT.

If objtrace_cmd is fixed command string, can you make this a flag, like
OBJTRACE_CMD_ADD.

I suggest to move this line after initializing all field in
the obj_data.

You don't need to lock this spinlock becuase this data structure
is not used yet. Also, you need to initialize the lock with
__RAW_SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED() macro.
