In that case, simply invoking synchronize_rcu() every once and awhile
should take care of things. This could be at the end of every large
trie operation, or you could even count the call_rcu() invocations and
do a synchronize_rcu() every 100th, 1,000th, or whatever, based on
the amount of memory available.
OK, for now the minimal change for testing (2.6.30 needs previously
mentioned two commits from 2.6.31-rc). (I guess I'll send it with a
changelog after net-next is opened.)
Thanks,
