[PATCH 1/1] rcu/kvfree: Add debug check of GP ready for ptrs in a list

From: Uladzislau Rezki (Sony)
Date: Tue Apr 04 2023 - 10:13:44 EST


Triiger a warning if a grace period is not passed yet for
objects queued on a linked list via rcu_head structures.

Once detached, take a full snapsot of GP sequnces to check
later that a grace period is passed and it is safe to free
all pointers.

Based on latest 'dev' branch.
