The patch titled
Subject: devres: add kernel standard devm_k.alloc functions
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
devres-add-kernel-standard-devm_kalloc-functions.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Joe Perches <joe@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: devres: add kernel standard devm_k.alloc functions
Currently, devm_ managed memory only supports kzalloc.
Convert the devm_kzalloc implementation to devm_kmalloc and remove the
complete memset to 0 but still set the initial struct devres header and
whatever padding before data to 0.
Add the other normal alloc variants as static inlines with __GFP_ZERO
added to the gfp flag where appropriate:
devm_kzalloc
devm_kcalloc
devm_kmalloc_array
Add gfp.h to device.h for the newly added static inlines.
akpm: the current API forces us to replace kmalloc() with kzalloc() when
performing devm_ conversions. This adds a relatively minor overhead.
More significantly, it will defeat kmemcheck used-uninitialized checking,
and for a particular driver, losing used-uninitialised checking for their
core controlling data structures will significantly degrade kmemcheck
usefulness.
