[PATCH] mm: lru_cache_disable: use synchronize_rcu_expedited

From: Marcelo Tosatti
Date: Mon May 30 2022 - 13:37:38 EST



commit ff042f4a9b050895a42cae893cc01fa2ca81b95c replaced
lru_cache_disable's usage of work queues with synchronize_rcu.

Some users reported performance regressions due to this commit, for example:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220521234616.GO1790663@paulmck-ThinkPad-P17-Gen-1/T/

Switching to synchronize_rcu_expedited fixes the problem.
