I'm ok with the memblock_virt_alloc by itself, but having 'virt' in 'memblock_virt_alloc_try_nid_nopanic' and 'memblock_virt_alloc_low_nopanic' reduces code readability in my opinion. Besides, from what I've seen, many users of memblock_phys_alloc can be converted to the virtual variant and then we can just have memblock_alloc everywhere in the end. Currently there are ~70 users of memblock_virt_alloc*, but with the bootmem -> memblock conversion we'll be adding ~140 more. > -- > Michal Hocko > SUSE Labs > -- Sincerely yours, Mike.
