Linux kernel source tree
2b55d6a42d
Add a kvfree_rcu_barrier() function. It waits until all in-flight pointers are freed over RCU machinery. It does not wait any GP completion and it is within its right to return immediately if there are no outstanding pointers. This function is useful when there is a need to guarantee that a memory is fully freed before destroying memory caches. For example, during unloading a kernel module.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
