Subject: [PATCH v3 1/9] mm: slab: clarify krealloc()'s behavior with __GFP_ZERO
Date: Mon, 9 Nov 2020 12:06:46 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201109110654.12547-2-brgl@bgdev.pl> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20201109110654.12547-1-brgl@bgdev.pl>
From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bgolaszewski@baylibre.com>
__GFP_ZERO is ignored by krealloc() (unless we fall-back to kmalloc()
path, in which case it's honored). Point that out in the kerneldoc.
