Yes, agreed.

Thanks!

Given that 2/3 should update the comments (or should be dropped
if you do not like it), this ones should be rediffed. And, I just
noticed typo in this patch,

I meant list_add_tail_rcu().

I guess this doesn't matter at all, still I'd like to avoid any

doesn't really matter too.

I'll preserve your ack.
