mainlining shenanigans
free_user() could be called in atomic context.
This patch pushed the free operation off into a workqueue.
Example:
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/workqueue.c:2856
in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 177, name: ksoftirqd/27

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.
