Shouldn't the lock member be removed from here?

I am a bit confused on this one, though.

The raw spin lock is still per hashtable (htab->lock), and has not been converted in
this patch to the per bucket one (as opposed to what the commit message says), so
this patch seems to go into the right direction, but is a bit incomplete? Shouldn't
the above f.e. take b->lock, etc?

Same here?

Thanks,
