> The thread specific variable workspace indicated by "key_workspace"
> should be freed explicitly when closing a device. For example, in
> Linux, when exiting an application, the thread will not exit
> explicitly and the thread resources will not be deconstructed.
> 
> The commit to solve this introduced a global list to manage the
> workspace resources as a garbage collector. It will also be executed
> in Windows, but the workspaces have already been freed in the
> function mlx5_flow_os_release_workspace().
> 
> With this commit, the garbage collector will only be executed in
> Linux. The workspace resources management in Windows will remain
> the same with some stub function when needed.
