Subject: [PATCH 1/3] slab, block: generalize bvec_alloc_gfp
Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2025 10:08:54 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251023080919.9209-2-hch@lst.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251023080919.9209-1-hch@lst.de>
bvec_alloc_gfp is useful for any place that tries to kmalloc first and
then fall back to a mempool. Rename it and move it to blk.h to prepare
for using it to allocate the default integrity buffer.
