I got two copies, but one of them stole an R from you!

In the new utrace API there is nothing that requires you to use either RCU
or tasklist_lock.  If you are using RCU for your own purposes, that's up to
you.  The tasklist_lock has not been exported for modules to use in a long
time.  Please be specific in your questions.  What are you doing that you
think needs some locking you aren't doing?


Thanks,
