Uladzislau Rezki (Sony) 9b81af9c84 rcu/tree: Defer kvfree_rcu() allocation to a clean context 
[ Upstream commit 56292e8609 ]

The current memmory-allocation interface causes the following difficulties
for kvfree_rcu():

a) If built with CONFIG_PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING, the lockdep will
   complain about violation of the nesting rules, as in "BUG: Invalid
   wait context".  This Kconfig option checks for proper raw_spinlock
   vs. spinlock nesting, in particular, it is not legal to acquire a
   spinlock_t while holding a raw_spinlock_t.

   This is a problem because kfree_rcu() uses raw_spinlock_t whereas the
   "page allocator" internally deals with spinlock_t to access to its
   zones. The code also can be broken from higher level of view:
   <snip>
       raw_spin_lock(&some_lock);
       kfree_rcu(some_pointer, some_field_offset);
   <snip>

b) If built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT, spinlock_t is converted into
   sleeplock.  This means that invoking the page allocator from atomic
   contexts results in "BUG: scheduling while atomic".

c) Please note that call_rcu() is already invoked from raw atomic context,
   so it is only reasonable to expaect that kfree_rcu() and kvfree_rcu()
   will also be called from atomic raw context.

This commit therefore defers page allocation to a clean context using the
combination of an hrtimer and a workqueue.  The hrtimer stage is required
in order to avoid deadlocks with the scheduler.  This deferred allocation
is required only when kvfree_rcu()'s per-CPU page cache is empty.

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.
