Great! But it would be nice to check if this (accidentally ;-) might
fix the previous problem, so I attach below the patch with "manual
RCU", which btw. (or even more important) should verify RCU use here.

It should be applied on top of this last "Fix..., part3". And
again: it's quite probable it can fail, so with caution, no hurry
(it can wait for quiet time)...

Many thanks,
Jarek P.
