[PATCH 1/9] ext4: Switch to kvfree_rcu() API
From: Uladzislau Rezki (Sony)
Date: Wed Nov 24 2021 - 06:03:27 EST
From: Uladzislau Rezki <uladzislau.rezki@xxxxxxxx>
Instead of invoking a synchronize_rcu() to free a pointer
after a grace period we can directly make use of new API
that does the same but in more efficient way.
