I am trying to convert the LLC code to RCU, and it appears that for proc 
support a sk_nulls_next_rcu would be required. 

Is this the wrong way to do it, or is it that nobody need it yet?

Thanks,
tavi

I think simply nobody needed it yet.

Eric, please take a look at Octavian's patch, thanks!

I will send a patch series later with several LLC enhancements, no need to 
look over the LLC bits yet - its not all done yet. I'll CC Eric on the RCU 
parts :)

I find it amusing, and give you a carte blanche on that! :-)

:-) Its just an exercise for me to understand RCU, but its harder than I 
originally thought and I did give up trying to finish it in the first batch of 
LLC patches I've just sent.
