Freeing of filters requires to wait for both an RCU grace period as well as
a RCU task trace wait period after they have been detached from their
lists. The trace task period can be quite large so the freeing of the
filters was moved to use the call_rcu*() routines. The problem with that is
that the callback functions of call_rcu*() is done from a soft irq and can
cause latencies if the callback takes a bit of time.
The filters are freed per event in a system and the syscalls system
contains an event per system call, which can be over 700 events. Freeing 700
filters in a bottom half is undesirable.
Instead, move the freeing to use queue_rcu_work() which is done in task
context.

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 reStructuredText 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.
