btrfs_device structs are freed from RCU context since device iteration is protected by RCU. Currently this is achieved by using call_rcu since no blocking functions are called within btrfs_free_device. Future refactoring of pending/pinned chunks will require calling sleeping functions. This patch is in preparation for these changes by simply switching from RCU callbacks to explicit calls of synchronize_rcu and calling btrfs_free_device directly. This is functionally equivalent, making sure that there are no readers at that time.

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.
