If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Linus Torvalds commit e19e1b480ac73c3e62ffebbca1174f0f511f43e7 upstream. Most simple allocations use GFP_KERNEL, and with the new allocation helpers being introduced, let's just take advantage of that to simplify that default case. It's a numbers game: git grep 'alloc_obj(' | sed 's/.*\(GFP_[_A-Z]*\).*/\1/' | sort | uniq -c | sort -n | tail shows that about 90% of all those new allocator instances just use that standard GFP_KERNEL. Those helpers are already macros, and we can easily just make it be the default case when the gfp argument is missing. And yes, we could do that for all the legacy interfaces too, but let's keep it to just the new ones at least for now, since those all got converted recently anyway, so this is not any "extra" noise outside of that limited conversion. And, in fact, I want to do this before doing the -rc1 release, exactly so that we don't get extra merge conflicts.
