Currently kvfree_rcu() APIs use a system workqueue which is
"system_unbound_wq" to driver RCU machinery to reclaim a memory.
Recently, it has been noted that the following kernel warning can
be observed:
<snip>

<snip>
To address this switch to use of independent WQ_MEM_RECLAIM
workqueue, so the rules are not violated from workqueue framework
point of view.
Apart of that, since kvfree_rcu() does reclaim memory it is worth
to go with WQ_MEM_RECLAIM type of wq because it is designed for
this purpose.

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.
