Subject: Re: [PATCH v13 1/4] mm/vmalloc: allow to set node and align in
 vrealloc

* Vitaly Wool <vitaly.wool@...sulko.se> [250715 09:58]:
> Reimplement vrealloc() to be able to set node and alignment should
> a user need to do so. Rename the function to vrealloc_node_align()
> to better match what it actually does now and introduce macros for
> vrealloc() and friends for backward compatibility.
> 
> With that change we also provide the ability for the Rust part of
> the kernel to set node and alignment in its allocations.
