Subject: [PATCH v4 14/18] mm: Move __alloc_pages() to mm/page_alloc.h
Date: Thu, 02 Jul 2026 09:49:45 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260702-alloc-trylock-v4-14-0af8ff387e80@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260702-alloc-trylock-v4-0-0af8ff387e80@google.com>
It's no longer used outside of mm/.
Since this means __alloc_pages_noprof() is no longer visible from gfp.h,
this also means moving the definition of alloc_pages_node_noprof into
the .c file.
Also remove references to this API from the documentation tree -
referring to the specific function name was already questionable but
now the function is not even public it definitely seems wrong.
