[PATCH 0/3] replace few other kvmalloc open coded variants

[Michal Hocko]

Hi,
while doing something unrelated I've noticed these few open coded
kvmalloc variants so let's replace them with the library function. Each
patch can be merged separately so I hope I've CCed proper people. This
is based on the current linux-next.

Shortlog

      fs/file: replace alloc_fdmem with kvmalloc alternative
      lib/rhashtable.c: use kvzalloc in bucket_table_alloc when possible
      netfilter: use kvmalloc xt_alloc_table_info

[PATCH 1/3] fs/file: replace alloc_fdmem with kvmalloc alternative

[Michal Hocko]

From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com>

There is no real reason to duplicate kvmalloc* helpers so drop
alloc_fdmem and replace it with the appropriate library function.

[PATCH 2/3] lib/rhashtable.c: use kvzalloc in bucket_table_alloc when possible

[Michal Hocko]

From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com>

bucket_table_alloc can be currently called with GFP_KERNEL or
GFP_ATOMIC. For the former we basically have an open coded kvzalloc
while the later only uses kzalloc. Let's simplify the code a bit by
the dropping the open coded path and replace it with kvzalloc

[PATCH 3/3] netfilter: use kvmalloc xt_alloc_table_info

[Michal Hocko]

From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com>

xt_alloc_table_info basically opencodes kvmalloc so use the library
function instead.
