[Wang, Yipeng] I fixed the issue you mentioned and put it in V5 and I saw you acked it. You don't need to change you patch now.

[Wang, Yipeng]
After checking your slides, I agree. It works with upper level application which should have RCU-like mechanisms to ensure
the grace period has finished before recycling. In this case, the logic is good! 

If you haven't done so, could you be more specific in doc and the API comment to indicate that the key-data pair recycle function should only be called
after reader finished (or maybe specifically indicate RCU type of mechanism is needed?). I feel that users not familiar with this could easily
get it wrong. 

Besides this, I don't have other concern.
