Subject: [PATCH 8/9] md: use kvmalloc rather than opencoded variant
Date: Mon, 6 Mar 2017 11:33:26 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170306103327.2766-4-mhocko@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170306103327.2766-1-mhocko@kernel.org>
From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com>
copy_params uses kmalloc with vmalloc fallback. We already have a helper
for that - kvmalloc. This caller requires GFP_NOIO semantic so it hasn't
been converted with many others by previous patches. All we need to
achieve this semantic is to use the scope memalloc_noio_{save,restore}
around kvmalloc.
