To this larger audience and last week without reply:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/573b3fbd5927c643920e1364230c296b23e7584d.camel@perches.com/
Are there _any_ fastpath uses of kfree or vfree?
Many patches have been posted recently to fix mispairings
of specific types of alloc and free functions.
To eliminate these mispairings at a runtime cost of four
comparisons, should the kfree/vfree/kvfree/kfree_const
functions be consolidated into a single kfree?
Something like the below:
void kfree(const void *addr)
{
if (is_kernel_rodata((unsigned long)addr))
return;
if (is_vmalloc_addr(addr))
_vfree(addr);
else
_kfree(addr);
}
#define kvfree kfree
#define vfree kfree
#define kfree_const kfree
