[PATCH RFC v7 14/23] dept: Add a mechanism to refill the internal memory pools on running out

Byungchul Park
2023-01-09T04:07:05Z

Dept engine works in a constrained environment. For example, Dept cannot
make use of dynamic allocation e.g. kmalloc(). So Dept has been using
static pools to keep memory chunks Dept uses.

However, Dept would barely work once any of the pools gets run out. So
implemented a mechanism for the refill on the lack by any chance, using
irq work and workqueue that fits on the contrained environment.
