The kvfree_rcu() and kfree_rcu() APIs are hazardous in that if you forget the second argument, it works, but might sleep. This sleeping can be a correctness bug from atomic contexts, and even in non-atomic contexts it might introduce unacceptable latencies. This commit therefore removes the single-argument kvfree_rcu() and kfree_rcu() macros. Code that would have previously used these single-argument kvfree_rcu() and kfree_rcu() macros should instead use kvfree_rcu_mightsleep() or kfree_rcu_mightsleep().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
