From 1d5cfdb076288df5eb95545a547a39905e95c930 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tetsuo Handa Date: Fri, 22 Jan 2016 15:11:02 -0800 Subject: tree wide: use kvfree() than conditional kfree()/vfree() There are many locations that do if (memory_was_allocated_by_vmalloc) vfree(ptr); else kfree(ptr); but kvfree() can handle both kmalloc()ed memory and vmalloc()ed memory using is_vmalloc_addr(). Unless callers have special reasons, we can replace this branch with kvfree(). Please check and reply if you found problems.
