Yes, thanks.

But note that we do not need RCU_NONE. All we need is the trivial change
below. Damn, I am trying to find my old rcu-sync patches which I didn't
send, but can't... OK, this almost off-topic right now, just this "enter"
is ugly and we can't switch the slow/fast modes dynamically.

The rest of you patch is "optimize the slow path" and we already discussed
it before, I personally like it. Perhaps you can redo it without RCU_NONE
part?

Of course, this leads to another question: do we really need rcu-sync at
all, or should we change percpu-rwsem to always work in the "slow" mode
which is not that slow with your change... I'd like to keep it ;)

What do you think?

Oleg.
