Below is the delta needed to fixed the bug in the mh/split-under-lock patch series that I mentioned in an earlier email [1], plus a little tweak to make the docstring for lock_ref_for_update() clearer. I actually fixed the bug in preparatory commit ref_transaction_commit(): remove local variable n , whose subject was accordingly changed to ref_transaction_commit(): remove local variables n and updates [2]. See branch "split-under-lock" in my GitHub fork [3] for the full revised patch series (including the changes to a later patch that are necessary when it is rebased onto the fix). In the same repo I've also rebased dependent branches update-ref-errors, ref-iterators, and ref-store on top of this one; all of those rebases were trivial. Here, for the convenience of reviewers, I present the delta between the old and new end states of the split-under-lock patch series. (It didn't seem justified to re-send the whole 33-patch series for this logically small change.)
