[PATCH 01/15] RDS: use kfree_rcu in rds_ib_remove_ipaddr

From: Santosh Shilimkar <hidden>
Date: 2015-09-19 23:11:06
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: networking [general], rds - reliable datagram sockets, the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Allison Henderson, Linus Torvalds

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.
