I see that not much was learned from our last exchange. This is disappointing.

At this point you've exhausted my goodwill, and the "This is on top of
a patch to make contid list lock and unlock
functions" comment isn't clear to me at this moment so I'm going to
suggest you just post it as part of your next patchset revision so it
can be seen in the proper context. Based on a quick inspection it
doesn't seems like there is any mutual exclusion for the writers, but
perhaps this is part of the of "... on top of a patch ..." hand
waving; another reason to see the patch in proper context.

If you've read and understand everything under Documentation/RCU (the
checklist.txt can be helpful), it should be fine. If you haven't, you
should do so before posting the next iteration.
