Problem with these wrapper is that we cannot take off example GFP_NOFS flag. It is not recomended use those in all places. Also if we change one driver specific wrapper to kernel wrapper then it would look really weird. People should be most familiar with kernel wrappers so let's just use those ones. Driver specific alloc wrapper also confuse some static analyzing tools, good example is example kernels checkpatch tool. After we converter these to kernel specific then warnings is showed. Following Coccinelle script was used to automate changing. virtual patch @alloc depends on patch@ expression x; expression y; @@ ( - ntfs_malloc(x) + kmalloc(x, GFP_NOFS) | - ntfs_zalloc(x) + kzalloc(x, GFP_NOFS) | - ntfs_vmalloc(x) + kvmalloc(x, GFP_NOFS) | - ntfs_free(x) + kfree(x) | - ntfs_vfree(x) + kvfree(x) | - ntfs_memdup(x, y) + kmemdup(x, y, GFP_NOFS) ) Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Kari Argillander <kari.argillander@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Konstantin Komarov <almaz.alexandrovich@paragon-software.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
