Subject: [PATCH 0/4] tty: replace __get_free_pages() with kmalloc()
Date: Thu, 28 May 2026 13:24:16 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260528-b4-tty-v1-0-9da9f7aec5f2@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().
