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

firmware_loader: make RUST_FW_LOADER_ABSTRACTIONS select FW_LOADER

The use of firmware_loader is an implementation detail of drivers rather than a dependency. FW_LOADER is typically selected rather than depended on; the Rust abstractions should do the same thing.

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

firmware_loader: Replace simple_strtol() with kstrtoint()

2025-10-22T06:09:25+00:00

Replace deprecated simple_strtol() calls with kstrtoint() in timeout_store() and firmware_loading_store() functions to improve input validation and error handling. The simple_strtol() function does not provide proper error checking for invalid input, while kstrtoint() returns an error for malformed strings. This change adds proper validation for user input from sysfs attributes, returning -EINVAL for invalid numeric strings instead of silently accepting potentially malformed input. The behavior for valid numeric input remains unchanged. The simple_strtol() function is deprecated in favor of kstrtoint() family functions which provide better error handling and are recommended for new code and replacements.

firmware_loader: Only call cancel when upload is active

2025-10-22T06:09:23+00:00

The cancel_store() function currently calls the firmware upload cancel operation even when no upload is in progress (i.e., when progress is FW_UPLOAD_PROG_IDLE). Update cancel_store() to only invoke the cancel operation when an upload is active. If the upload is idle, return -ENODEV without calling cancel. This change improves safety and correctness by ensuring driver operations are only called in valid states.
