The patch looks good to me. Do you want to take it through your tree? It benefits mainline too as a rcu_read_lock() is more efficient than rwlocks. Although I will say this is a slow path anyway.I was thinking that Catalin would queue it for 4.6 in the arm64 tree, since that's probably easiest in case any unlikely conflicts crop up.
Oh, OK. That's fine. I just didn't want you to think that the RT folks were going to pull it in for mainline. -- Steve
