Sorry I was not clear on my point.
I was trying to point out that, an exit hook for BSD and CSA is essential to save accounting data before the data is gone. That can not be done with a netlink.
So, my patch was to keep acct_process as a wrapper, which would then call do_exit_csa() for CSA and call do_acct_process for BSD.
Thanks, - jay

You can not replace the acct_process() call with a netlink. If ELSA is to use the enhanced accounting data, it needs the CSA eop handling at exit as well.
Why replace the acct_process()? The problem here is to add a new hook in
the do_fork() and you can use the BSD accounting hook acct_process()
which is already in the exit() routine. We don't need to replace it with
a netlink because today there are no user space applications that need
it.
