It is illegal to perform an immediate free of the struct irq_work from
inside the irq_work callback (as irq_work_run_list modifies work->flags
after execution of the work->func()). As we use the irq_work to
coordinate the freeing of the callback from two different softirq paths,
we need to defer the kfree from inside our irq_work callback, for which
we can use kfree_rcu.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
