[PATCH 05/10] kernel/fork: use vfree_atomic() to free thread stack

From: Christoph Hellwig
Date: Fri Nov 18 2016 - 08:04:32 EST


From: Andrey Ryabinin <aryabinin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

vfree() is going to use sleeping lock. Thread stack freed in atomic
context, therefore we must use vfree_atomic() here.
