From 32fcfd40715ed13f7a80cbde49d097ddae20c8e2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Sun, 10 Mar 2013 20:14:08 -0400 Subject: make vfree() safe to call from interrupt contexts A bunch of RCU callbacks want to be able to do vfree() and end up with rather kludgy schemes. Just let vfree() do the right thing - put the victim on llist and schedule actual __vunmap() via schedule_work(), so that it runs from non-interrupt context.
