Currently, we move all unreferenced contexts to an RCU free list and then onto a worker for eventual reaping. To compensate against this growing into a long list with frequent allocations starving the system of available memory, before we allocate a new context we reap all the stale contexts. This puts all the cost of destroying the context into the next allocator, which is presumably more sensitive to syscall latency and unfair. We can limit the number of contexts being freed by the new allocator to both keep the list trimmed and to allow the allocator to be reasonably fast. Signed-off-by:
