For patches 3 and 4:
Acked-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
I think patches 3 and 4 are ready.
Would be great to land them for this merge window
(if Vlastimil agrees).
Patch 3 is tiny, but the impact is huge and
patch 4 is a very nice cleanup.
If we land it now we can start using kfree_rcu() on bpf side
in the next release cycle. That will help us a lot.
