I presume this will go through Masami and Steven's tree, is that right?
Yes, but it came in during the merge window, and since it's just a speed up
and not fixing something that's broken, I was going to let this go in the
next merge window. I rather have a change like this sit through a full -rc
release.

It is a speed up but not for optimization sake but to cure rcu stalls in production at Meta. IMHO it should go in sooner than wait a full release cycle.
