I have modified the patchset so now if rcu helpers are used from rculist.h then fine otherwise gcc warns you that you're using the helpers from list.h like this: init/foo.c:13: warning: ‘__deprecated_list_add_rcu’ is deprecated (declared at include/linux/rculist.h:76) But the build process doesn't fail anymore. For that I added some ugly hacks in list.h and rculist.h but they definitively should be removed for mainline inclusion. I'm sending them in response to this email. If we include this now, then people can have a chance to notice that rculist.h exists and fix their stuffs until 2.6.25 release candidates but I'll redo the patchset and give it some test around the 2.6.25-rc1 timeframe anyway.
