Linux kernel source tree
49d5377b38
RCU has been special-casing callback function pointers that are integers lower than 4096 as offsets of rcu_head for kvfree() instead. The tree RCU implementation no longer does that as the batched kvfree_rcu() is not a simple call_rcu(). The tiny RCU still does, and the plan is also to make tree RCU use call_rcu() for SLUB_TINY configurations. Instead of teaching tree RCU again to special case the offsets, let's remove the special casing completely. Since there's no SLOB anymore, it is possible to create a callback function that can take a pointer to a middle of slab object with unknown offset and determine the object's pointer before freeing it, so implement that as kvfree_rcu_cb(). Large kmalloc and vmalloc allocations are handled simply by aligning down to page size. For that we retain the requirement that the offset is smaller than 4096. But we can remove __is_kvfree_rcu_offset() completely and instead just opencode the condition in the BUILD_BUG_ON() check.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
