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

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

2025-06-08T07:07:37+00:00

Move this API to the canonical timer_*() namespace. [ tglx: Redone against pre rc1 ] Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/aB2X0jCKQO56WdMt@gmail.com

treewide: Switch/rename to timer_delete[_sync]()

2025-04-05T08:30:12+00:00

timer_delete[_sync]() replaces del_timer[_sync](). Convert the whole tree over and remove the historical wrapper inlines. Conversion was done with coccinelle plus manual fixups where necessary. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

blk-throttle: remove CONFIG_BLK_DEV_THROTTLING_LOW

2024-05-09T15:44:55+00:00

One the one hand, it's marked EXPERIMENTAL since 2017, and looks like there are no users since then, and no testers and no developers, it's just not active at all. On the other hand, even if the config is disabled, there are still many fields in throtl_grp and throtl_data and many functions that are only used for throtl low. At last, currently blk-throtl is initialized during disk initialization, and destroyed during disk removal, and it exposes many functions to be called directly from block layer. Remove throtl low to make code much more cleaner and follow up work much easier.

block: prevent division by zero in blk_rq_stat_sum()

2024-03-06T15:31:54+00:00

The expression dst->nr_samples + src->nr_samples may have zero value on overflow. It is necessary to add a check to avoid division by zero.

blk-stat: fix QUEUE_FLAG_STATS clear

2023-04-13T12:48:11+00:00

We need to set QUEUE_FLAG_STATS for two cases: 1. blk_stat_enable_accounting() 2. blk_stat_add_callback() So we should clear it only when ((q->stats->accounting == 0) && list_empty(&q->stats->callbacks)). blk_stat_disable_accounting() only check if q->stats->accounting is 0 before clear the flag, this patch fix it. Also add list_empty(&q->stats->callbacks)) check when enable, or the flag is already set. The bug can be reproduced on kernel without BLK_DEV_THROTTLING (since it unconditionally enable accounting, see the next patch). # cat /sys/block/sr0/queue/scheduler none mq-deadline [bfq] # cat /sys/kernel/debug/block/sr0/state SAME_COMP|IO_STAT|INIT_DONE|STATS|REGISTERED|NOWAIT|30 # echo none > /sys/block/sr0/queue/scheduler # cat /sys/kernel/debug/block/sr0/state SAME_COMP|IO_STAT|INIT_DONE|REGISTERED|NOWAIT # cat /sys/block/sr0/queue/wbt_lat_usec 75000 We can see that after changing elevator from "bfq" to "none", "STATS" flag is lost even though WBT callback still need it.

blk-mq: remove hybrid polling

2023-03-20T21:30:03+00:00

io_uring provides the only way user space can poll completions, and that always sets BLK_POLL_NOSLEEP. This effectively makes hybrid polling dead code, so remove it and everything supporting it. Hybrid polling was effectively killed off with 9650b453a3d4b1, "block: ignore RWF_HIPRI hint for sync dio", but still potentially reachable through io_uring until d729cf9acb93119, "io_uring: don't sleep when polling for I/O", but hybrid polling probably should not have been reachable through that async interface from the beginning.

block: don't call blk_throtl_stat_add for non-READ/WRITE commands

2023-02-03T15:20:04+00:00

blk_throtl_stat_add is called from blk_stat_add explicitly, unlike the other stats that go through q->stats->callbacks. To prepare for cgroup data moving to the gendisk, ensure blk_throtl_stat_add is only called for the plain READ and WRITE commands that it actually handles internally, as blk_stat_add can also be called for passthrough commands on queues that do not have a gendisk associated with them.
