Subject: [RFC PATCH 04/15] fork: Separate vmap stack allocation and free calls
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2026 17:41:11 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260928174122.3380703-5-smostafa@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260928174122.3380703-1-smostafa@google.com>

From: Pasha Tatashin <pasha.tatashin@soleen.com>

In preparation for the partially populated stacks, separate out the
__vmalloc_node and vfree calls from the vmap based stack allocations.

Signed-off-by: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org>
[Add missing free_vmap_stack conversion, fix typos, rebase]
