  /*
   * SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU - **WARNING** READ THIS!
   *
   * This delays freeing the SLAB page by a grace period, it does _NOT_
   * delay object freeing. This means that if you do kmem_cache_free()
   * that memory location is free to be reused at any time. Thus it may
   * be possible to see another object there in the same RCU grace period.
   *
   * This feature only ensures the memory location backing the object
   * stays valid, the trick to using this is relying on an independent
   * object validation pass. Something like:
   *
   *  rcu_read_lock()
   * again:
   *  obj = lockless_lookup(key);
   *  if (obj) {
   *    if (!try_get_ref(obj)) // might fail for free objects
   *      goto again;
   *
   *    if (obj->key != key) { // not the object we expected
   *      put_ref(obj);
   *      goto again;
   *    }
   *  }
   *  rcu_read_unlock();
   *
   * See also the comment on struct slab_rcu in mm/slab.c.
