Indeed it is not yet in my external git tree. Here is my normal work
flow:
1. Develop and test continuously.
2. Based on testing, review, etc., determin which commits are
ready for the next merge window.
3. Midway through the -rc releases, push the commits targeted
to the next merge window to rcu/next. Push any additional
commits to rcu/testing.
4. Towards the last -rc, rebase, retest, wait for the -next
tree to take the changes, and, if all is well, send Ingo
a pull request.
Exposing your changes to -next during the merge window would cause
pointless irritation due to random conflicts with rapidly changing
code.

But, yes, it would be much easier for us to handle your changes if
I post them via -rcu. So I have created a new branch rcu/kfree_rcu
that is -not- consumed by -next. The rcu/next and rcu/testing
branches include your base kfree_rcu() patch, but not the uses of
it. These branches are based on 2.6.38, and I will move them ahead
at -rc3 or -rc4.
These currently contain your original patches, but I will be pulling
your latest set.
> Is origin/rcu/next OK?
origin/rcu/kfree_rcu for the moment to avoid messing up -next. But
it will be origin/rcu/next after rebasing onto -rc3 or -rc4.
Thanx, Paul
