Alexei Starovoitov 8d5a8011b3 bpf: Batch call_rcu callbacks instead of SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU.
SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU makes kmem_caches non mergeable and slows down
kmem_cache_destroy. All bpf_mem_cache are safe to share across different maps
and programs. Convert SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU to batched call_rcu. This change
solves the memory consumption issue, avoids kmem_cache_destroy latency and
keeps bpf hash map performance the same.

README

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 Restructured Text 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.
