Subject: [PATCH] tracing: simplify pages allocation
Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2026 18:44:03 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260425014403.440786-1-rosenp@gmail.com> (raw)
Change to a flexible array member to allocate together with the array
struct.
Simplifies code slightly by removing no longer correct null checks for
pages and removing kfrees.
