This patch re-purpose the use_trace_rcu to mean if the freed memory can be reused immediately or not. The use_trace_rcu is renamed to reuse_now. Other than the boolean test is reversed, it should be a no-op. The following explains the reason for the rename and how it will be used in a later patch. In a later patch, bpf_mem_cache_alloc/free will be used in the bpf_local_storage. The bpf mem allocator will reuse the freed memory immediately. Some of the free paths in bpf_local_storage does not support memory to be reused immediately. These paths are the "delete" elem cases from the bpf_*_storage_delete() helper and the map_delete_elem() syscall. Note that "delete" elem before the owner's (sk/task/cgrp/inode) lifetime ended is not the common usage for the local storage. The common free path, bpf_local_storage_destroy(), can reuse the memory immediately. This common path means the storage stays with its owner until the owner is destroyed. The above mentioned "delete" elem paths that cannot reuse immediately always has the 'use_trace_rcu == true'. The cases that is safe for immediate reuse always have 'use_trace_rcu == false'. Instead of adding another arg in a later patch, this patch re-purpose this arg to reuse_now and have the test logic reversed. In a later patch, 'reuse_now == true' will free to the bpf_mem_cache_free() where the memory can be reused immediately. 'reuse_now == false' will go through the call_rcu_tasks_trace().

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.
