flush_all() flushes a specific SLAB cache on each CPU (where the cache is present). The deactivate_slab()/__free_slab() invocation happens within IPI handler and is problematic for PREEMPT_RT. The flush operation is not a frequent operation or a hot path. The per-CPU flush operation can be moved to within a workqueue. Because a workqueue handler, unlike IPI handler, does not disable irqs, flush_slab() now has to disable them for working with the kmem_cache_cpu fields. deactivate_slab() is safe to call with irqs enabled.

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.
