Thanks for the review. Since we're already at v12 I'd rather not respin
just for these, but I agree both are worth fixing, so I'll handle them as
follow ups.

The first one is a simple fix, so if v13 ends up being needed
for other reasons I'll fold it in there, otherwise I'll send it as a
separate patch.

The RCU conversion needs more thought and will probably
cause quite a bit of churn, so I'll try it if there's a v13, and if it
gets too messy. I'll post it separately later.

Thanks,
Yuyang
