[PATCH 01/17] quota: allocate dquot_hash with kmalloc()

From: Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)

Date: Sat May 23 2026 - 13:55:59 EST


dquot_init() allocates a single page for dquot_hash with
__get_free_pages().

kmalloc() is a better API for such use and it also provides better
scalability and more debugging possibilities.

Replace use of __get_free_pages() with kmalloc() and get rid of the order
variable that remained 0 for more than 20 years.
