Subject: [PATCH] Move block region publish out of RCU callback
Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2026 16:07:32 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260331140732.29036-1-val@versity.com> (raw)
We were unnecessarily complicating the freeing of a region builder by
doing it in an RCU callback. Move the region publication out of the
RCU callback and free the region builder itself with standard
kfree_rcu().
