From 59fe4606748f7016e9e02bbd26da185f8620661a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Santosh Shilimkar Date: Fri, 3 Feb 2012 11:09:23 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] RDS: use kfree_rcu in rds_ib_remove_ipaddr synchronize_rcu() slowing down un-necessarily the socket shutdown path. It is used just kfree() the ip addresses in rds_ib_remove_ipaddr() which is perfect usecase for kfree_rcu(); So lets use that to gain some speedup.
