Subject: [RFC][PATCH 1/2] rename alloc_pages_exact()
Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2011 12:15:02 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110322191501.7EEC645D@kernel> (raw)
alloc_pages_exact() returns a virtual address. But, alloc_pages() returns
a 'struct page *'. That makes for very confused kernel hackers.
__get_free_pages(), on the other hand, returns virtual addresses. That
makes alloc_pages_exact() a much closer match to __get_free_pages(), so
rename it to get_free_pages_exact().
Note that alloc_pages_exact()'s partner, free_pages_exact() already
matches free_pages(), so we do not have to touch the free side of things.
