Subject: [merged mm-stable] vmalloc-update-__vmalloc_node_noprof-documentation.patch removed from -mm tree
Date: Sun, 16 Nov 2025 17:32:07 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251117013208.68288C4CEF5@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
The quilt patch titled
Subject: vmalloc: update __vmalloc_node_noprof() documentation
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
vmalloc-update-__vmalloc_node_noprof-documentation.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: vmalloc: update __vmalloc_node_noprof() documentation
Date: Mon, 13 Oct 2025 19:42:22 +0200
The kernel-doc for __vmalloc_node_noprof() incorrectly states that
__GFP_NOFAIL reclaim modifier is not supported. In fact it has been
supported since commit 9376130c390a ("mm/vmalloc: add support for
__GFP_NOFAIL").
To avoid duplication and future drift, point this helper's doc to
__vmalloc_node_range_noprof() for details and the full description.
