imo the deliberate small race in Eric's initial lock removal in mirred
was a good design choice. I think he did this patch only to
silence the complains with the code instead of arguing with words.
imo the initial code is good as-is. This patch is also a nice improvement,
but certainly not mandatory. 'face palm' is unnecessary.

LOL, to summarize your words:

1) not changing the current code is good
2) changing the current code is good too

Only because I was tired of your rants.

I wont backport this patch to Google prod kernels, I already spent too
much time.
