The vfs[1] documentation describes free_inode as follows:
```
free_inode
this method is called from RCU callback. If you use call_rcu()
in ->destroy_inode to free ‘struct inode’ memory, then it’s
better to release memory in this method.
```
free_inode will be called by the RCU callback, so it might be better
to move the inode free operation to destroy_inode.
Similar to commit ae6b47b565 ("fs/ntfs3: Change destroy_inode to
free_inode").

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 reStructuredText 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.
