Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] tty: replace __get_free_pages() with kmalloc()
Date: Sun, 31 May 2026 10:02:46 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260531-b4-tty-v2-0-f7149947d4ef@kernel.org> (raw)

This is a (tiny) part of larger work of replacing page allocator calls
with kmalloc.

Nowadays the right way to say "I need a buffer" is kmalloc() rather than
ancient and ugly __get_free_pages().

v2 changes:
* fix placement of include <linux/slab.h> in men_z135_uart

v1: https://patch.msgid.link/20260528-b4-tty-v1-0-9da9f7aec5f2@kernel.org
