Hi Miklos, These prep patches are needed for my start-write-safe series [1]. This is not urgent and the prep patches don't need to be merged for next cycle, but I think these are good changes regardless, so wanted to post them for early review - if you like them you can queue them for 6.6. It is quite hard to do the review of the locking reorder patch from the diff itself and I couldn't figure out a better way to split this change. I've intentionally left some otherwise useless out: goto labels to make the patch review a bit simper - they could be removed later. On the good side, lockdep was very tough with me and it easily detected bugs in the earlier versions of the patches. Going on vacation. will be back round rc6. Thanks, Amir.
