kmem_alloc() is just a thin wrapper around kmalloc() these days. Convert everything to use kmalloc() so we can get rid of the wrapper. Note: the transaction region allocation in xlog_add_to_transaction() can be a high order allocation. Converting it to use kmalloc(__GFP_NOFAIL) results in warnings in the page allocation code being triggered because the mm subsystem does not want us to use __GFP_NOFAIL with high order allocations like we've been doing with the kmem_alloc() wrapper for a couple of decades. Hence this specific case gets converted to xlog_kvmalloc() rather than kmalloc() to avoid this issue. Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: "Darrick J.

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.
