Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL arguments

2026-02-22T04:03:00+00:00

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split over multiple lines. I only did the ones that are easy to verify the resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next line. Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial. So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed' scripts. The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want whitespace cleanup anyway. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using git grep -l '\

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: pass a queue_limits argument to blk_alloc_disk

2024-02-19T23:58:23+00:00

Pass a queue_limits to blk_alloc_disk and apply it if non-NULL. This will allow allocating queues with valid queue limits instead of setting the values one at a time later. Also change blk_alloc_disk to return an ERR_PTR instead of just NULL which can't distinguish errors.

ps3vram: remove bio splitting

2023-01-29T22:18:35+00:00

ps3vram iterates over the bio one segment, that is page aligned and max page sized chunk, a time. Because of that there is no point in calling bio_split_to_limits, or explicitly setting the default limits that are only used by bio_split_to_limits.

block: handle bio_split_to_limits() NULL return

2023-01-04T16:05:23+00:00

This can't happen right now, but in preparation for allowing bio_split_to_limits() returning NULL if it ended the bio, check for it in all the callers. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: move from strlcpy with unused retval to strscpy

2022-09-22T01:45:04+00:00

Follow the advice of the below link and prefer 'strscpy' in this subsystem. Conversion is 1:1 because the return value is not used. Generated by a coccinelle script.

block: change the blk_queue_split calling convention

2022-08-02T23:22:53+00:00

The double indirect bio leads to somewhat suboptimal code generation. Instead return the (original or split) bio, and make sure the request_queue arguments to the lower level helpers is passed after the bio to avoid constant reshuffling of the argument passing registers. Also give it and the helpers used to implement it more descriptive names.

block: remove GENHD_FL_EXT_DEVT

2021-11-29T13:38:35+00:00

All modern drivers can support extra partitions using the extended dev_t. In fact except for the ioctl method drivers never even see partitions in normal operation. So remove the GENHD_FL_EXT_DEVT and allow extra partitions for all block devices that do support partitions, and require those that do not support partitions to explicit disallow them using GENHD_FL_NO_PART.
