OK. I can do "s/this patch introduces/introduce/".

sashiko did not find problems with my patch
( https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/8dedfc40-9cae-44ff-9960-e0eb1825e963%40I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp ).

Bart did not like my proposed solution and is making a series, but
sashiko found problems with Bart's series
( https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/8330ca0e-b4d9-451a-bc0d-a50178194ea8@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and
https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/2efb1032-34b9-4c31-b6fc-4aa9b1d60895@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ).
I still cannot catch why Bart's approach can become safe without synchronize_rcu() and
drain_workqueue().
