I'll try and bump it on the todo list. Apologies, I wasn't trying to make you feel bad. But I did get an old version of the patch. A much more recent one is here, which I have added to the commit log: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/5108281/ For my part, I feel bad that I didn't realize much earlier that parallel SRCU callbacks were needed. As it was, someone had to tell me late last year. But yes, it would be really cool to have lockless VMA lookup!!! Thanx, Paul
