This looks good to me...

Even though this is in the ksize part, this seems like an unrelated change?
 Should this be in a different patch?

Also, the kfree_rcu will free q_vector after the RCU grace period?

Is that what you want to do?

How does rcu distinguish between the original q_vector, and the newly kzalloced one?

Thanks,

Mike
