[PATCH] mm: check for sleepable context in kvfree

From: Jeff Layton
Date: Tue Jul 23 2019 - 09:12:17 EST


A lot of callers of kvfree only go down the vfree path under very rare
circumstances, and so may never end up hitting the might_sleep_if in it.
Ensure that when kvfree is called, that it is operating in a context
where it is allowed to sleep.
