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

drivers/base/node: fold unregister_node() into unregister_one_node()

2025-11-17T01:28:03+00:00

unregister_node() is only called from unregister_one_node(). This patch folds unregister_node() into its only caller and renames unregister_one_node() to unregister_node(). This reduces unnecessary indirection and simplifies the code structure. No functional changes are introduced.

drivers/base/node: fold register_node() into register_one_node()

2025-11-17T01:28:02+00:00

Patch series "drivers/base/node: fold node register and unregister functions", v2. The first patch merges register_one_node() and register_node(), leaving a single register_node() function. The second patch merges unregister_one_node() and unregister_node(), leaving a single unregister_node() function. There are no functional changes in these patches. This patch (of 2): register_node() is only called from register_one_node(). This patch folds register_node() into its only caller and renames register_one_node() to register_node(). This reduces unnecessary indirection and simplifies the code structure. No functional changes are introduced.

drivers/base: move memory_block_add_nid() into the caller

2025-10-03T23:42:43+00:00

Now the node id only needs to be set for early memory, so move memory_block_add_nid() into the caller and rename it into memory_block_add_nid_early(). This allows us to further simplify the code by dropping the 'context' argument to do_register_memory_block_under_node().

drivers/base/node: fix double free in register_one_node()

2025-09-28T18:51:31+00:00

When device_register() fails in register_node(), it calls put_device(&node->dev). This triggers node_device_release(), which calls kfree(to_node(dev)), thereby freeing the entire node structure. As a result, when register_node() returns an error, the node memory has already been freed. Calling kfree(node) again in register_one_node() leads to a double free. This patch removes the redundant kfree(node) from register_one_node() to prevent the double free.

drivers/base/node: handle error properly in register_one_node()

2025-09-13T23:55:17+00:00

If register_node() returns an error, it is not handled correctly. The function will proceed further and try to register CPUs under the node, which is not correct. So, in this patch, if register_node() returns an error, we return immediately from the function.

drivers/base/node: Add a helper function node_update_perf_attrs()

Add helper function node_update_perf_attrs() to allow update of node access coordinates computed by an external agent such as CXL. The helper allows updating of coordinates after the attribute being created by HMAT.
