kobject: make kobject_get_ownership() take a constant kobject *

2022-11-22T16:34:29+00:00

The call, kobject_get_ownership(), does not modify the kobject passed into it, so make it const. This propagates down into the kobj_type function callbacks so make the kobject passed into them also const, ensuring that nothing in the kobject is being changed here. This helps make it more obvious what calls and callbacks do, and do not, modify structures passed to them. Cc: Trond Myklebust Cc: Anna Schumaker Cc: Roopa Prabhu Cc: "David S.

class: fix possible memory leak in __class_register()

2022-11-09T13:58:29+00:00

If class_add_groups() returns error, the 'cp->subsys' need be unregister, and the 'cp' need be freed. We can not call kset_unregister() here, because the 'cls' will be freed in callback function class_release() and it's also freed in caller's error path, it will cause double free. So fix this by calling kobject_del() and kfree_const(name) to cleanup kobject. Besides, call kfree() to free the 'cp'. Fault injection test can trigger this: unreferenced object 0xffff888102fa8190 (size 8): comm "modprobe", pid 502, jiffies 4294906074 (age 49.296s) hex dump (first 8 bytes): 70 6b 74 63 64 76 64 00 pktcdvd. backtrace: [<00000000e7c7703d>] __kmalloc_track_caller+0x1ae/0x320 [<000000005e4d70bc>] kstrdup+0x3a/0x70 [<00000000c2e5e85a>] kstrdup_const+0x68/0x80 [<000000000049a8c7>] kvasprintf_const+0x10b/0x190 [<0000000029123163>] kobject_set_name_vargs+0x56/0x150 [<00000000747219c9>] kobject_set_name+0xab/0xe0 [<0000000005f1ea4e>] __class_register+0x15c/0x49a unreferenced object 0xffff888037274000 (size 1024): comm "modprobe", pid 502, jiffies 4294906074 (age 49.296s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 00 40 27 37 80 88 ff ff 00 40 27 37 80 88 ff ff .@'7.....@'7.... 00 00 00 00 ad 4e ad de ff ff ff ff 00 00 00 00 .....N.......... backtrace: [<00000000151f9600>] kmem_cache_alloc_trace+0x17c/0x2f0 [<00000000ecf3dd95>] __class_register+0x86/0x49a Fixes: ced6473e7486 ("driver core: class: add class_groups support") Signed-off-by: Yang Yingliang Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221026082803.3458760-1-yangyingliang@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

block: remove genhd.h

2022-02-02T14:49:59+00:00

There is no good reason to keep genhd.h separate from the main blkdev.h header that includes it. So fold the contents of genhd.h into blkdev.h and remove genhd.h entirely.

drivers: base: fix some kernel-doc markups

2020-11-09T17:56:49+00:00

class_create is actually defined at the header. Fix the markup there and add a new one at the right place.

device.h: move 'struct class' stuff out to device/class.h

2019-12-16T09:11:14+00:00

device.h has everything and the kitchen sink when it comes to struct device things, so split out the struct class things things to a separate .h file to make things easier to maintain and manage over time.

driver core: move device->knode_class to device_private

2019-01-18T15:55:48+00:00

As the description of struct device_private says, it stores data which is private to driver core. And it already has similar fields like: knode_parent, knode_driver, knode_driver and knode_bus. This look it is more proper to put knode_class together with those fields to make it private to driver core. This patch move device->knode_class to device_private to make it comply with code convention. Signed-off-by: Wei Yang Reviewed-by: Rafael J. Wysocki Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

driver core: Remove redundant license text

2017-12-07T17:36:44+00:00

Now that the SPDX tag is in all driver core files, that identifies the license in a specific and legally-defined manner. So the extra GPL text wording can be removed as it is no longer needed at all. This is done on a quest to remove the 700+ different ways that files in the kernel describe the GPL license text. And there's unneeded stuff like the address (sometimes incorrect) for the FSF which is never needed. No copyright headers or other non-license-description text was removed.

driver core: add SPDX identifiers to all driver core files

2017-12-07T17:36:43+00:00

It's good to have SPDX identifiers in all files to make it easier to audit the kernel tree for correct licenses. Update the driver core files files with the correct SPDX license identifier based on the license text in the file itself. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This work is based on a script and data from Thomas Gleixner, Philippe Ombredanne, and Kate Stewart. Cc: Johannes Berg Cc: "Luis R.
