He stated that he wishes to make this subsystem more lockless, and he cannot do that without making the action cookie handling use RCU. I agree with the stated goal, and the necessity of this kind of change. Therefore I applied the patch. I really don't see what the problem is. I also gave a couple days for this patch set to get reviewed. If you have a problem, please respond to the patch posting. When I see nobody is reviewing, that is when I step in and make my own judgment. So when you want your objection to be heard, please do so in a timely manner. That helps all of us. Thank you.
