In 'fasync_remove_entry()', prefer 'kfree_rcu()' over 'call_rcu()' with dummy 'fasync_free_rcu()' callback. This is mostly intended in attempt to fix weird https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=6a64ad907e361e49e92d1c4c114128a1bda2ed7f, where kmemleak may consider 'fa' as unreferenced during RCU grace period. See https://lore.kernel.org/stable/20230930174657.800551-1-joel@joelfernandes.org as well. Comments are highly appreciated. Ever since ae65a5211d90 ("mm/slab: document kfree() as allowed for kmem_cache_alloc() objects") kfree() can be used for both kmalloc() and kmem_cache_alloc() so this is no safe. Do not backport this to stable, please.

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.
