[PATCH 4/7] mm: defer vmalloc from atomic context

From: Christoph Hellwig
Date: Sat Oct 22 2016 - 11:17:44 EST


We want to be able to use a sleeping lock for freeing vmap to keep
latency down. For this we need to use the deferred vfree mechanisms
no only from interrupt, but from any atomic context.
