Subject: Re: [PATCH 01/14] s390/sclp_vt220: Replace get_zeroed_page() with kzalloc()
Date: Mon, 09 Nov 2026 09:05:17 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <sashiko-outbox-204653@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261108-s390-sclp-ready-v1-1-3e7c90eb6676@kernel.org>
> __sclp_vt220_init() allocates the SCCBs that are used as the output
> buffers of the VT220 console driver.
>
> These buffers can be allocated with kmalloc() as there's nothing special
> about them to go directly to the page allocator.
>
> kmalloc() provides a better API that does not require ugly casts and
> kfree() does not need to know the size of the freed object.
>
> Performance difference between kmalloc() and __get_free_pages() is not
> measurable as both allocators take an object/page from a per-CPU list for
> fast path allocations.
>
> For the slow path the performance is anyway determined by the amount of
> reclaim involved rather than by what allocator is used.
>
> Replace use of get_zeroed_page() with kzalloc() and free_page() with
> kfree().
