Thanks a lot, Minchan.

and, guys, sorry for previous html email (I'm sure I toggled the "plain
text" mode in gmail web-interface, but somehow it has different meaning
in gmail world).


I'm still concerned about performance numbers that I see on my x86_64.
it's not always, but mostly slower. I'll give it another try (disable
lockdep, etc.), but if we lose 10% on average then, sorry, I'm not so
positive about srcu change and will tend to vote for your initial commit
that simply moved meta free() out of init_lock and left locking as is
(lockdep warning would have been helpful there, because otherwise it
just looked like we change code w/o any reason).

what do you thunk?
