Subject: [PATCH v3 0/2] lib/raid: replace __get_free_pages() call with kvmalloc()
Date: Thu, 28 May 2026 10:27:54 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260528-lib-v3-0-feccddf1cb6d@kernel.org> (raw)
This is a (tiny) part of larger work of replacing page allocator calls
with k*malloc.
Nowadays the right way to say "I need a buffer" is kmalloc() rather than
ancient and ugly __get_free_pages().
---
v3 changes:
* restore kmalloc() per Christoph
* update changelog
v2: https://patch.msgid.link/20260526-lib-v2-0-ca3f0fc24b14@kernel.org
* replace kmalloc() with kvmalloc()
v1: https://patch.msgid.link/20260520-lib-v1-0-cb3045bef2d8@kernel.org
