[PATCH 05/14] tracefs: replace call_rcu by kfree_rcu for simple kmem_cache_free callback

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Since SLOB was removed, it is not necessary to use call_rcu
when the callback only performs kmem_cache_free. Use
kfree_rcu() directly.

The changes were done using the following Coccinelle semantic patch.
This semantic patch is designed to ignore cases where the callback
function is used in another way.
