I think you might be better off with an IDR. The IDR can always
contain one entry, so there's no need for this 'rbf_list_head' or
__rcu_bulk_schedule_list. The IDR contains its first 64 entries in
an array (if that array can be allocated), so it's compatible with the
kfree_bulk() interface.
I have just familiarized myself with what IDR is by reading your
article. If I am incorrect please correct me.
The list and head you have pointed are only used if the container can
not be allocated. That could happen with IDR as well. Note that the
containers are allocated at boot time and are re-used.
IDR seems to have some overhead, such as I have to specifically add the
pointer and free the ID, plus radix tree maintenance.
The change would also require retesting. So I would like to keep the
current design.
