[PATCH v3 -next] staging: fwserial: Switch to kvfree_rcu() API

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

 



Instead of invoking a synchronize_rcu() to free a pointer after a grace
period, we can directly make use of new API that does the same but in
more efficient way.
