Next step would be to get rid of sk_callback_lock, I dont remember if we already discussed about that rwlock, after RCUification of sockets...
We discussed it, but the RCU'ification of core socket destruction is pretty expensive. Just do any simple connection rate based test, like lat_connection from lmbench, and the effects are clear.
