It seems that I got no responses so far for clarification requests according to the documentation in a direction I hoped for.
That's because you are pretty unresponsive to direction.
From which places did you get this impression?
How many times have I told you to include the reason for your patches in your proposed commit message? Too often.
For instance, specific to this patch:
Many people do not know that a generic kmalloc does a dump_stack() on OOM. That information should be part of the commit message.
Also removing the printk code reduces overall code size. The actual size reduction should be described in the commit message too.
Could we, please, return one step back and reevaluate need for kmalloc. That would eliminate original "problem" as well.
