[PATCH v2 0/4] firewire: core: call address handlers ouside RCU read-side critical section

Hi,

This is an updated version of my previous patchset[1].

In the earlier version, XArray was used to collect FCP address handlers.
However, in typical system, only a few handlers are registered, and
using XArray for this purpose was unnecessarily complex and inefficient.
A simpler and faster approach is more appropriate here.

In this v2 patchset, the kernel stack is used initially to store up to 4
handlers. If more than 4 handlers are registered in the system, a buffer
is dynamically allocated from the kernel heap.

    critical section
  firewire: core: reallocate buffer for FCP address handlers when more
    than 4 are registered
