This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled mm: vmalloc: introduce array allocation functions to the 5.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: mm-vmalloc-introduce-array-allocation-functions.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 0fe8b2ff024aec861bac0aa495b13c94e728883c Author: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Mar 8 04:47:22 2022 -0500 mm: vmalloc: introduce array allocation functions [ Upstream commit a8749a35c39903120ec421ef2525acc8e0daa55c ] Linux has dozens of occurrences of vmalloc(array_size()) and vzalloc(array_size()). Allow to simplify the code by providing vmalloc_array and vcalloc, as well as the underscored variants that let the caller specify the GFP flags.
