rcu/kvfree: Add kvfree_rcu_mightsleep() and kfree_rcu_mightsleep()
The kvfree_rcu() and kfree_rcu() APIs are hazardous in that if you forget the second argument, it works, but might sleep. This sleeping can be a correctness bug from atomic contexts, and even in non-atomic contexts it might introduce unacceptable latencies. This commit therefore adds kvfree_rcu_mightsleep() and kfree_rcu_mightsleep(), which will replace the single-argument kvfree_rcu() and kfree_rcu(), respectively. This commit enables a series of commits that switch from single-argument kvfree_rcu() and kfree_rcu() to their _mightsleep() counterparts. Once all of these commits land, the single-argument versions will be removed. Signed-off-by: Uladzislau Rezki (Sony) <urezki@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>
