By luck rather than good behaviour. Slab is a definite performance win
even if its executing more code.

That tcp bug should be fixed. Dave you misunderstood what I meant by pushing
it to a timer - I meant schedule a wakeup off a timer (or off the BH
handlers) and the process trying to send the FIN do a non interruptible sleep)

Im aware (all to aware) of the locking issues [gazes at the NFS tcp code]
