Nah, I don't think it's a good idea. James's patch should work just
fine.

another option is to have a "kill list" which you put the thing on, and
then wake up a thread. only 2 pointers in the object ;(

Hm, that's almost what James's patch is trying to do. Care to mock up a
patch that shows this? It might be a simpler solution.

It won't work. You might have to do 2 put_device calls on the same
structure. That's why I suggested the "pending puts" counter; something
can't go on a list more than once.

It would only go on the list if the "put" was the last one. Otherwise
it would not make any sense to put it on any list.

thanks,
