Let us to fix bugs first, and then consider rewriting the locking.To be honest, I think switching to RCU is the simplest bug fix. At least, it does not require to search where bh_lock_sock() is taken dn_queue_skb(), if it is not forgotten at all. :-)
Ok :-) It is just that, I will have a hard time convincing people that this is legitimate for 2.6.18, and we would like the bug to be fixed there.
