The subject line should be short, the patch description should be in the body of the message, not the subject. Also, this is not a patch for the "mm" subsystem. Addressing the reason given for the change: the RCU lock is not actually protecting queue_delayed_work(), so while the code change may be OK, the reason given for removing it is not. So why is it safe to remove the rcu_read_lock()? Cheers, Dave.
