Hi!
This is an attempt to replace places in the Linux kernel for using
single argument of kvfree_rcu() API. In short, a single argument
API allows something like below:
<snip>
void *ptr = kvmalloc(some_bytes, GFP_KERNEL);
if (ptr)
kvfree_rcu(ptr);
<snip>
i.e. to free a pointer after a grace period of object that does not
have any rcu_head field inside its structure. Due to lacking of such
mechanism users just do:
<snip>
synchronize_rcu();
kfree(p);
<snip>
if they do not want to have an rcu_head element in their data. Thus
this series replaces mentioned places to go with the single argument API.
It is based on the 5.16.0-rc2 also it can be applied on Paul's latest RCU
"dev" branch.
Thanks!
