In [1], Christoph Hellwig has proposed to remove the wrappers in include/linux/pci-dma-compat.h. Some reasons why this API should be removed have been given by Julia Lawall in [2]. When memory is allocated in kbuf_alloc_2_sgl() GFP_KERNEL can be used because this function already uses the GFP_USER flag for some memory allocation and not spin_lock is taken in the between. When memory is allocated in mptctl_do_mpt_command() GFP_KERNEL can be used because this function already uses copy_from_user() and this function can sleep. When memory is allocated in mptctl_hp_hostinfo() GFP_KERNEL can be used because this function already uses mpt_config() and this function has an explicit might_sleep(). When memory is allocated in mptctl_hp_targetinfo() GFP_KERNEL can be used because this function already uses mpt_config() and this function has an explicit might_sleep().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
