Great. Many thanks for queuing this in -rcu. And regarding merge window you mentioned, we're fine with your assumption to targeting the next (v5.6) merge window. I've just had a look at linux-next to check what a future rebase requires: - There is a change in lib/Kconfig.debug and moving KCSAN to the "Generic Kernel Debugging Instruments" section seems appropriate. - bitops-instrumented.h was removed and split into 3 files, and needs re-inserting the instrumentation into the right places. Otherwise there are no issues. Let me know what you recommend. Thanks, -- Marco
