[PATCH] mac802154: Rename kfree_rcu() to kvfree_rcu_mightsleep()
From: Joel Fernandes (Google)
Date: Thu Mar 09 2023 - 20:31:57 EST
The k[v]free_rcu() macro's single-argument form is deprecated.
Therefore switch to the new k[v]free_rcu_mightsleep() variant. The goal
is to avoid accidental use of the single-argument forms, which can
introduce functionality bugs in atomic contexts and latency bugs in
non-atomic contexts.
The callers are holding a mutex so the context allows blocking. Hence
using the API with a single argument will be fine, but use its new name.
There is no functionality change with this patch.

Please Ack the patch but we can carry it through the RCU tree as well if
needed, as it is not a bug per-se and we are not dropping the old API before
the next release.
