Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] Documentation: deprecated.rst: type-aware kmalloc-family: mark optional argument as such
Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 18:50:37 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260420165038.217550-2-manuelebner@mailbox.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260420164234.217133-2-manuelebner@mailbox.org>

put the optional argument (gfp) in square brackets

eg. ptr = kmalloc_obj(*ptr, gfp);
 -> ptr = kmalloc_obj(*ptr, [gfp]);

 If `ptr->flex_member` is annotated with __counted_by(), the allocation
 will automatically fail if `count` is larger than the maximum
