This looks smaller compared to the RCU version. Since recently I have
simple-workqueue in -RT so I could replace schedule_work() with it. And
looking at the code I would have to do this change to free_ioctx_users()
and free_ioctx_reqs(). So here is what I am about to add for next -RT.
Ach. It compiles and I've never seen that splat so any feedback is
welcome :)
