[PATCH rcu 2/8] rcu/kvfree: Add debug to check grace periods

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Wed May 10 2023 - 13:03:18 EST


This commit adds debugging checks to verify that the required RCU
grace period has elapsed for each kvfree_rcu_bulk_data structure that
arrives at the kvfree_rcu_bulk() function. These checks make use
of that structure's ->gp_snap field, which has been upgraded from an
unsigned long to an rcu_gp_oldstate structure. This upgrade reduces
the chances of false positives to nearly zero, even on 32-bit systems,
for which this structure carries 64 bits of state.
