The patch titled Subject: mm/cma: drop cma_get_name() has been added to the -mm mm-unstable branch. Its filename is mm-cma-drop-cma_get_name.patch This patch will shortly appear at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/mm-cma-drop-cma_get_name.patch This patch will later appear in the mm-unstable branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next via the mm-everything branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm and is updated there every 2-3 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Anshuman Khandual <anshuman.khandual@xxxxxxx> Subject: mm/cma: drop cma_get_name() Date: Tue, 6 Feb 2024 09:45:18 +0530 cma_get_name() just returns cma->name without any additional transformation unlike other helpers such as cma_get_base() and cma_get_size(). This helper is not worth the additional indirection, and can be dropped after replacing directly with cma->name in the sole caller __add_cma_heap().
