[PATCH v3 0/2] lib/raid: replace __get_free_pages() call with kvmalloc()
From: Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)
Date: Thu May 28 2026 - 03:28:20 EST
This is a (tiny) part of larger work of replacing page allocator calls
with k*malloc.
Nowadays the right way to say "I need a buffer" is kmalloc() rather than
ancient and ugly __get_free_pages().
