Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument

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

block: introduce blk_queue_rot()

2026-01-29T20:15:50+00:00

To check if a request queue is for a rotational device, a double negation is needed with the pattern "!blk_queue_nonrot(q)". Simplify this with the introduction of the helper blk_queue_rot() which tests if a requests queue limit has the BLK_FEAT_ROTATIONAL feature set. All call sites of blk_queue_nonrot() are modified to use blk_queue_rot() and blk_queue_nonrot() definition removed. No functional changes.

blk-mq: add QUEUE_FLAG_BIO_ISSUE_TIME

2025-09-10T11:23:45+00:00

bio->issue_time_ns is initialized for every bio, however, it's only used by blk-iolatency. Add a new queue_flag and only set this flag when blk-iolatency is enabled, so that extra blk_time_get_ns() can be saved for disks that blk-iolatency is not enabled.

block: cleanup bio_issue

2025-09-10T11:23:45+00:00

Now that bio->bi_issue is only used by blk-iolatency to get bio issue time, replace bio_issue with u64 time directly and remove bio_issue to make code cleaner. Signed-off-by: Yu Kuai Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

treewide, timers: Rename from_timer() to timer_container_of()

block: force noio scope in blk_mq_freeze_queue

2025-01-31T14:20:08+00:00

When block drivers or the core block code perform allocations with a frozen queue, this could try to recurse into the block device to reclaim memory and deadlock. Thus all allocations done by a process that froze a queue need to be done without __GFP_IO and __GFP_FS. Instead of tying to track all of them down, force a noio scope as part of freezing the queue. Note that nvme is a bit of a mess here due to the non-owner freezes, and they will be addressed separately.

block: add blk_time_get_ns() and blk_time_get() helpers

2024-02-05T17:07:22+00:00

Convert any user of ktime_get_ns() to use blk_time_get_ns(), and ktime_get() to blk_time_get(), so we have a unified API for querying the current time in nanoseconds or as ktime. No functional changes intended, this patch just wraps ktime_get_ns() and ktime_get() with a block helper. Reviewed-by: Johannes Thumshirn Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: fix bad lockdep annotation in blk-iolatency

block: remove init_mutex and open-code blk_iolatency_try_init

2023-08-10T13:20:31+00:00

Commit a13696b83da4 ("blk-iolatency: Make initialization lazy") adds a mutex named "init_mutex" in blk_iolatency_try_init for the race condition of initializing RQ_QOS_LATENCY. Now a new lock has been add to struct request_queue by commit a13bd91be223 ("block/rq_qos: protect rq_qos apis with a new lock"). And it has been held in blkg_conf_open_bdev before calling blk_iolatency_init. So it's not necessary to keep init_mutex in blk_iolatency_try_init, just remove it. Since init_mutex has been removed, blk_iolatency_try_init can be open-coded back to iolatency_set_limit() like ioc_qos_write().
