[PATCHi v4 1/4] mm/vmalloc: allow to set node and align in vrealloc

From: Vitaly Wool
Date: Thu Jun 26 2025 - 04:38:09 EST


Reimplement vrealloc() to be able to set node and alignment should
a user need to do so. Rename the function to vrealloc_node() to
better match what it actually does now and introduce a macro for
vrealloc() for backward compatibility.

With that change we also provide the ability for the Rust part of
the kernel to set node and aligmnent in its allocations.
