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: move bdev_mark_dead out of disk_check_media_change

2023-10-28T11:29:23+00:00

disk_check_media_change is mostly called from ->open where it makes little sense to mark the file system on the device as dead, as we are just opening it. So instead of calling bdev_mark_dead from disk_check_media_change move it into the few callers that are not in an open instance. This avoid calling into bdev_mark_dead and thus taking s_umount with open_mutex held.

block: consolidate __invalidate_device and fsync_bdev

2023-08-21T12:35:31+00:00

We currently have two interfaces that take a block_devices and the find a mounted file systems to flush or invaldidate data on it. Both are a bit problematic because they only work for the "main" block devices that is used as s_dev for the super_block, and because they don't call into the file system at all. Merge the two into a new bdev_mark_dead helper that does both the syncing and invalidation and which is properly documented. This is in preparation of merging the functionality into the ->mark_dead holder operation so that it will work on additional block devices used by a file systems and give us a single entry point for invalidation of dead devices or media. Note that a single standalone fsync_bdev call for an obscure ioctl remains for now, but that one will also be deal with in a bit.

block: increment diskseq on all media change events

2023-06-20T13:16:24+00:00

Currently, associating a loop device with a different file descriptor does not increment its diskseq. This allows the following race condition: 1. Program X opens a loop device 2. Program X gets the diskseq of the loop device. 3. Program X associates a file with the loop device. 4. Program X passes the loop device major, minor, and diskseq to something. 5. Program X exits. 6. Program Y detaches the file from the loop device. 7. Program Y attaches a different file to the loop device. 8. The opener finally gets around to opening the loop device and checks that the diskseq is what it expects it to be. Even though the diskseq is the expected value, the result is that the opener is accessing the wrong file. From discussions with Christoph Hellwig, it appears that disk_force_media_change() was supposed to call inc_diskseq(), but in fact it does not. Adding a Fixes: tag to indicate this. Christoph's Reported-by is because he stated that disk_force_media_change() calls inc_diskseq(), which is what led me to discover that it should but does not.
