This is a (tiny) part of larger work of replacing page allocator calls with kmalloc. Nowadays the right way to say "I need a buffer" is kmalloc() rather than ancient and ugly __get_free_pages(). --- v3 changes: * rebased on v7.2-rc1 v2: https://patch.msgid.link/20260531-b4-tty-v2-0-f7149947d4ef@kernel.org * fix placement of include <linux/slab.h> in men_z135_uart To: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> To: Jiri Slaby <jirislaby@kernel.org> Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Cc: linux-serial@vger.kernel.org v1: https://patch.msgid.link/20260528-b4-tty-v1-0-9da9f7aec5f2@kernel.org --- Mike Rapoport (Microsoft) (4): serial: pch: replace __get_free_page() with kmalloc() tty: amiserial: replace get_zeroed_page() with kzalloc() tty: serial: men_z135_uart: replace __get_free_page() with kmalloc() vc_screen: replace __get_free_pages() with kmalloc() drivers/tty/amiserial.c | 14 +++++++------- drivers/tty/serial/men_z135_uart.c | 7 ++++--- drivers/tty/serial/pch_uart.c | 6 +++--- drivers/tty/vt/vc_screen.c | 6 ++---- 4 files changed, 16 insertions(+), 17 deletions(-) --- base-commit: dc59e4fea9d83f03bad6bddf3fa2e52491777482 change-id: 20260528-b4-tty-7c6e90f41d13 Best regards, -- Sincerely yours, Mike.
