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

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: switch ->getgeo() to struct gendisk

2025-08-13T06:59:29+00:00

Instances are happier that way and it makes more sense anyway - the only part of the result that is related to partition we are given is the start sector, and that has been filled in by the caller. Everything else is a function of the disk. Only one instance (DASD) is ever looking at anything other than bdev->bd_disk and that one is trivial to adjust. Reviewed-by: Martin K.

BLK_MQ_F_SHOULD_MERGE is set for all tag_sets except those that purely process passthrough commands (bsg-lib, ufs tmf, various nvme admin queues) and thus don't even check the flag. Remove it to simplify the driver interface. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241219060214.1928848-1-hch@lst.de Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

xen-blkfront: fix sector_size propagation to the block layer

2024-07-02T14:58:12+00:00

Ensure that info->sector_size and info->physical_sector_size are set before the call to blkif_set_queue_limits by doing away with the local variables and arguments that propagate them.

block: move the nonrot flag to queue_limits

2024-06-19T13:58:28+00:00

Move the nonrot flag into the queue_limits feature field so that it can be set atomically with the queue frozen. Use the chance to switch to defaulting to non-rotational and require the driver to opt into rotational, which matches the polarity of the sysfs interface. For the z2ram, ps3vram, 2x memstick, ubiblock and dcssblk the new rotational flag is not set as they clearly are not rotational despite this being a behavior change. There are some other drivers that unconditionally set the rotational flag to keep the existing behavior as they arguably can be used on rotational devices even if that is probably not their main use today (e.g. virtio_blk and drbd). The flag is automatically inherited in blk_stack_limits matching the existing behavior in dm and md.

block: move cache control settings out of queue->flags

2024-06-19T13:58:28+00:00

Move the cache control settings into the queue_limits so that the flags can be set atomically with the device queue frozen. Add new features and flags field for the driver set flags, and internal (usually sysfs-controlled) flags in the block layer. Note that we'll eventually remove enough field from queue_limits to bring it back to the previous size. The disable flag is inverted compared to the previous meaning, which means it now survives a rescan, similar to the max_sectors and max_discard_sectors user limits. The FLUSH and FUA flags are now inherited by blk_stack_limits, which simplified the code in dm a lot, but also causes a slight behavior change in that dm-switch and dm-unstripe now advertise a write cache despite setting num_flush_bios to 0. The I/O path will handle this gracefully, but as far as I can tell the lack of num_flush_bios and thus flush support is a pre-existing data integrity bug in those targets that really needs fixing, after which a non-zero num_flush_bios should be required in dm for targets that map to underlying devices.
