It isn't obvious that this patch is sufficiently beneficial until we have that RCU code in place. So I could retain this patch in -mm until we have that all sorted out.

The patch seems fairly pointless as a standalone thing? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
