Right. I didn't remember that I merged that over your NAK but I don't share your view that kmem_cache_destroy() callers should do rcu_barrier() or whatever is necessary if we can do it from kmem_cache_destroy(). So I am happy to take both changes but I would appreciate them being split into two separate patches.
