Subject: [PATCH rdma-next 3/4] RDMA/usnic: use kmalloc() for the page pointer array
Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2026 14:03:11 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260715-get_pages-to-kmalloc-v1-3-b0b7fce288be@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260715-get_pages-to-kmalloc-v1-0-b0b7fce288be@nvidia.com>

From: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@nvidia.com>

usnic_uiom_get_pages() uses a page-sized array of struct page pointers
as temporary storage for pin_user_pages(). Nothing requires the array to
come directly from the page allocator.

Use kmalloc() for the array and kfree() after the pinning loop.
