I have no objection about the patch, but have a question.
Are you intending to put it into mainline now (and stable too)? Or is
this a local bandage for whoever have met the problem (like me)?
In other words, should I wait for another lock free solution from Dmitry
Kasatkin?

By the way, the mail is not delivered to stable-ML while there is
"Cc: stable..." line in the commit log.
