There are unnecessary nested calls in fill_buf.c: - run_fill_buf() calls fill_cache() - alloc_buffer() calls malloc_and_init_memory() Simplify the code flow and remove those unnecessary call levels by moving the called code inside the calling function and remove the duplicated error print. Resolve the difference in run_fill_buf() and fill_cache() parameter name into 'buf_size' which is more descriptive than 'span'. Also, while moving the allocation related code, rename 'p' into 'buf' to be consistent in naming the variables.

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.
