Subject: [PATCH RFC 14/15] mm/slab: replace __GFP_NO_OBJ_EXT with SLAB_ALLOC_NO_RECURSE for sheaves
Date: Tue, 09 Jun 2026 11:17:59 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260609-slab_alloc_flags-v1-14-2bf4a4b9b526@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260609-slab_alloc_flags-v1-0-2bf4a4b9b526@kernel.org>
Finish the switch away from __GFP_NO_OBJ_EXT by replacing it with
SLAB_ALLOC_NO_RECURSE when allocating empty sheaves. Pass alloc_flags to
[__]alloc_empty_sheaf(). Callers that can't be part of a recursive
kmalloc() chain simply pass SLAB_ALLOC_DEFAULT. Use kmalloc_flags()
instead of kzalloc() for allocating the sheaf.
This leaves __GFP_NO_OBJ_EXT with no users, to be removed next.
