Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] docs/core-api: memory-allocation: add k[mz]alloc_obj() and clarify kmalloc
Date: Wed, 02 Sep 2026 11:10:10 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260902-docs-memalloc-guide-v2-0-218c1a4dcb80@kernel.org> (raw)
Update hte memory-allocation guide to describe k[mz]alloc_obj() and
clarify description of kmalloc() size limitations.
And when I realized that get_maintainers.pl does not list any of mm
people for that patch I added the MAINTAINERS update as well :)
---
v2 changes:
* update kmalloc limit phrasing as Vlastimil suggested
* make sure changelog matches the changes for MAINTAINERS update
* fix grammar and spelling
* add tags, thanks everyone!
