After the RCU flavor consolidation [1], call_rcu() and synchronize_rcu() waits for preempt-disable regions (NAPI) in addition to the read-side critical sections. As a result of this, the cleanup code in devmap can be simplified * There is no longer a need to flush in __dev_map_entry_free, since we know that this has been done when the call_rcu() callback is triggered. * When freeing the map, there is no need to explicitly wait for a flush. It's guaranteed to be done after the synchronize_rcu() call in dev_map_free(). The rcu_barrier() is still needed, so that the map is not freed prior the elements.

README
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.
