The differences between those two are * pipe_get_pages() gets a non-NULL struct page ** value pointing to preallocated array + array size. * pipe_get_pages_alloc() gets an address of struct page ** variable that contains NULL, allocates the array and (on success) stores its address in that variable. Not hard to combine - always pass struct page ***, have the previous pipe_get_pages_alloc() caller pass ~0U as cap for array size.

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.
