Subject: [PATCH v3 0/7] Rationalise __alloc_pages wrappers
Date: Thu, 25 Feb 2021 15:06:35 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210225150642.2582252-1-willy@infradead.org> (raw)
I was poking around the __alloc_pages variants trying to understand
why they each exist, and couldn't really find a good justification for
keeping __alloc_pages and __alloc_pages_nodemask as separate functions.
That led to getting rid of alloc_pages_current() and then I noticed the
documentation was bad, and then I noticed the mempolicy documentation
wasn't included ...
anyway, this is all cleanups & doc fixes.
v3:
- Added acks from Mike (patches 5 & 7) & Michel (patch 5)
- Improved wording of return value (Mike, patch 5)
- Added patch 6
v2:
- Added acks from Vlastimil (patches 2-4) & Michel (patches 3-4)
- Added patches 1, 5 and 7
