Title
mm/slab/kvfree_rcu: Switch to WQ_MEM_RECLAIM wq
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/slab/kvfree_rcu: Switch to WQ_MEM_RECLAIM wq Currently kvfree_rcu() APIs use a system workqueue which is "system_unbound_wq" to driver RCU machinery to reclaim a memory. Recently, it has been noted that the following kernel warning can be observed: <snip> workqueue: WQ_MEM_RECLAIM nvme-wq:nvme_scan_work is flushing !WQ_MEM_RECLAIM events_unbound:kfree_rcu_work WARNING: CPU: 21 PID: 330 at kernel/workqueue.c:3719 check_flush_dependency+0x112/0x120 Modules linked in: intel_uncore_frequency(E) intel_uncore_frequency_common(E) skx_edac(E) ...

Apart of that, since kvfree_rcu() does reclaim memory it is worth to go with WQ_MEM_RECLAIM type of wq because it is designed for this purpose.
