treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

2026-02-21T09:02:28+00:00

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook

Pull persistent dentry infrastructure and conversion from Al Viro: "Some filesystems use a kinda-sorta controlled dentry refcount leak to pin dentries of created objects in dcache (and undo it when removing those). A reference is grabbed and not released, but it's not actually _stored_ anywhere. That works, but it's hard to follow and verify; among other things, we have no way to tell _which_ of the increments is intended to be an unpaired one. Worse, on removal we need to decide whether the reference had already been dropped, which can be non-trivial if that removal is on umount and we need to figure out if this dentry is pinned due to e.g. unlink() not done. Usually that is handled by using kill_litter_super() as ->kill_sb(), but there are open-coded special cases of the same (consider e.g. /proc/self). Things get simpler if we introduce a new dentry flag (DCACHE_PERSISTENT) marking those "leaked" dentries. Having it set claims responsibility for +1 in refcount. The end result this series is aiming for: - get these unbalanced dget() and dput() replaced with new primitives that would, in addition to adjusting refcount, set and clear persistency flag. - instead of having kill_litter_super() mess with removing the remaining "leaked" references (e.g. for all tmpfs files that hadn't been removed prior to umount), have the regular shrink_dcache_for_umount() strip DCACHE_PERSISTENT of all dentries, dropping the corresponding reference if it had been set. After that kill_litter_super() becomes an equivalent of kill_anon_super(). Doing that in a single step is not feasible - it would affect too many places in too many filesystems. It has to be split into a series. This work has really started early in 2024; quite a few preliminary pieces have already gone into mainline. This chunk is finally getting to the meat of that stuff - infrastructure and most of the conversions to it. Some pieces are still sitting in the local branches, but the bulk of that stuff is here" * tag 'pull-persistency' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (54 commits) d_make_discardable(): warn if given a non-persistent dentry kill securityfs_recursive_remove() convert securityfs get rid of kill_litter_super() convert rust_binderfs convert nfsctl convert rpc_pipefs convert hypfs hypfs: swich hypfs_create_u64() to returning int hypfs: switch hypfs_create_str() to returning int hypfs: don't pin dentries twice convert gadgetfs gadgetfs: switch to simple_remove_by_name() convert functionfs functionfs: switch to simple_remove_by_name() functionfs: fix the open/removal races functionfs: need to cancel ->reset_work in ->kill_sb() functionfs: don't bother with ffs->ref in ffs_data_{opened,closed}() functionfs: don't abuse ffs_data_closed() on fs shutdown convert selinuxfs ...

syscore: Pass context data to callbacks

2025-11-14T09:01:52+00:00

Several drivers can benefit from registering per-instance data along with the syscore operations. To achieve this, move the modifiable fields out of the syscore_ops structure and into a separate struct syscore that can be registered with the framework. Add a void * driver data field for drivers to store contextual data that will be passed to the syscore ops. Acked-by: Rafael J. Wysocki (Intel) Signed-off-by: Thierry Reding
