Re: [PATCH] type safe allocator

quoted

The linux kernel doesn't have a type safe object allocator a-la new()
in C++ or g_new() in glib.

Introduce two helpers for this purpose:

   alloc_struct(type, gfp_flags);

   zalloc_struct(type, gfp_flags);

whimper.

On a practical note, I'm still buried in convert-to-kzalloc patches, and
your proposal invites a two-year stream of 10,000 convert-to-alloc_struct
patches.

So if this goes in

No, I gave up.  It seems nobody likes the idea except me :(
