Yes, please do send that patch on to Linus for 3.3.

It did not get as much as the 36 hours of testing I had hoped for, only
25 hours so far. 12 hours while I was out yesterday got wasted by a
wireless driver interrupt spewing approximately one million messages:

iwl3945 0000:08:00.0: MAC is in deep sleep!. CSR_GP_CNTRL = 0xFFFFFFFF

which I've not suffered from before, and hope not again. Having kdb
in, I did take a look what was going on with the memcg load when it was
interrupted: it appeared to be normal, and I've no reason to suppose that
my kfree_rcu() was in any way responsible for the wireless aberration.

Thanks,
Hugh
