[PATCH] Documentation: RCU: adopt new coding style of type-aware kmalloc-family - part 2/2
From: Manuel Ebner
Date: Sat Jun 27 2026 - 05:09:06 EST
Update Documentation/RCU/* to reflect new type-aware kmalloc-family
as suggested in commit 2932ba8d9c99 ("slab: Introduce kmalloc_obj()
and family")
p = kmalloc(...);
-> p = kmalloc_obj(...);

A similar patch sent by me has been applied. Back then I wasn't familiar
enough to convert all *alloc(*. That's why this is " - part 2/2".
Part 1: f61bf5fdf77d ("Documentation: RCU: adopt new coding style of
type-aware kmalloc-family")
