[PATCH 10/17] jbd2: replace __get_free_pages() with kmalloc()
From: Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)
Date: Sat May 23 2026 - 13:59:32 EST
jbd2_alloc() falls back from kmem_cache_alloc() to __get_free_pages() for
allocations larger than PAGE_SIZE.
But kmalloc() can handle such cases with essentially the same fallback.
Replace use of __get_free_pages() with kmalloc() and simplify
jbd2_free() as both kmem_cache_alloc() and kmalloc() allocations can be
freed with kfree().
