Re: [PATCH] mm/vmalloc, mm/kasan: respect gfp mask in kasan_populate_vmalloc()

kasan_populate_vmalloc() and its helpers ignore the caller's gfp_mask and always allocate memory using the hardcoded GFP_KERNEL flag. This makes them inconsistent with vmalloc(), which was recently extended to support GFP_NOFS and GFP_NOIO allocations.

Is this patch on top of your patchset "[PATCH 0/8] __vmalloc() and no-block support"? Or it is a replacement of "[PATCH 5/8] mm/kasan, mm/vmalloc: Respect GFP flags in kasan_populate_vmalloc()" in the patchset?

I may not get their relationship clearly.
