[PATCH rcu 2/8] rcu/kvfree: Switch to a generic linked list API

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Wed Jan 04 2023 - 19:27:07 EST


From: "Uladzislau Rezki (Sony)" <urezki@xxxxxxxxx>

This commit improves the readability and maintainability of the
kvfree_rcu() code by switching from an open-coded linked list to
the standard Linux-kernel circular doubly linked list. This patch
does not introduce any functional change.
