We currently have a 'laundrette' for closing cached files - a different work-item for each network-namespace. These 'laundrettes' (aka struct nfsd_fcache_disposal) are currently on a list, and are freed using rcu. The list is not necessary as we have a per-namespace structure (struct nfsd_net) which can hold a link to the nfsd_fcache_disposal. The use of kfree_rcu is also unnecessary as the cache is cleaned of all files associated with a given namespace, and no new files can be added, before the nfsd_fcache_disposal is freed. So add a '->fcache_disposal' link to nfsd_net, and discard the list management and rcu usage. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>
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 Restructured Text 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.
