Subject: [PATCH v2 2/5] mm: mincore: replace __get_free_page() with kmalloc()
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 20:00:48 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260710120052.103886-3-wangkefeng.wang@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260710120052.103886-1-wangkefeng.wang@huawei.com>
Remove ugly casts by using the more natural kmalloc/kfree allocation,
also replace GFP_USER(pointless here) with GFP_KERNEL.
Reviewed-by: Pedro Falcato <pfalcato@suse.de>
