[PATCH 2/7] rcu/tree: maintain separate array for vmalloc ptrs

From: Uladzislau Rezki (Sony)
Date: Mon Mar 23 2020 - 07:36:38 EST


To do so we use an array of common kvfree_rcu_bulk_data
structure. It consists of two elements, index number 0
corresponds to SLAB ptrs., whereas vmalloc pointers can
be accessed by using index number 1.

The reason of not mixing pointers is to have an easy way
to to distinguish them.

It is also the preparation patch for head-less objects
support. When an object is head-less we can not queue
it into any list, instead a pointer is placed directly
into an array.
