I wonder why "struct kvfree_work_struct" is needed.
According to http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=jj/ubuntu-lucid.git;a=blobdiff;f=security/apparmor/match.c;h=d2cd55419acfcae85cb748c8f837a4384a3a0d29;hp=afc2dd2260edffcf88521ae86458ad03aa8ea12c;hb=f5eba4b0a01cc671affa429ba1512b6de7caeb5b;hpb=abdff9ddaf2644d0f9962490f73e030806ba90d3 ,
static void kvfree_work(struct work_struct *work)
{
vfree(work);
}
void kvfree_inatomic(void *ptr, size_t size)
{
if (size < PAGE_SIZE) {
kfree(ptr);
} else if (is_vmalloc_addr(ptr)) {
/*
* We can embed "struct work_struct" inside *ptr
* because size >= PAGE_SIZE.
*/
struct work_struct *work = ptr;
BUILD_BUG_ON(sizeof(struct work_struct) > PAGE_SIZE);
INIT_WORK(&work, kvfree_work);
schedule_work(&work);
} else {
free_pages_exact(ptr, size);
}
}
should do what you want. (Though, I didn't test it.)
