Subject: [PATCH 3/4] scsi: ipr: use kmalloc() to allocate IPR dump buffer memory
Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2026 13:54:20 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260630-b4-scsi-v1-3-494fb37ebe7b@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260630-b4-scsi-v1-0-494fb37ebe7b@kernel.org>
IPR dump machinery allocates memory to save adapter's crash dump using
__get_free_page().
This memory can be allocated with kmalloc() as there's nothing special
about it 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.
Replace use of __get_free_page() with kmalloc().
