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

ipmi_si: Rework some include files

2019-08-02T12:25:03+00:00

ipmi_si_sm.h was getting included in lots of places it didn't belong. Rework things a bit to remove all the dependencies, mostly just moving things between include files that were in the wrong place and removing bogus includes. Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard

ipmi: Add the i2c-addr property for SSIF interfaces

2019-04-24T14:02:53+00:00

This is required for SSIF to work. There was no way to know if the interface being added was SI or SSIF from the platform data, but that was required so the i2c-addr is only added for SSIF interfaces. So add a field for that. Also rework the logic a bit so that ipmi-type is not set for SSIF interfaces, as it is not necessary for that.

ipmi: Fix failure on SMBIOS specified devices

2019-04-16T21:36:47+00:00

An extra memset was put into a place that cleared the interface type. Reported-by: Tony Camuso Fixes: 3cd83bac481dc4 ("ipmi: Consolidate the adding of platform devices") Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard

ipmi: Consolidate the adding of platform devices

2019-02-22T13:12:41+00:00

It was being done in two different places now that hard-coded devices use platform devices, and it's about to be three with hotmod switching to platform devices. So put the code in one place. This required some rework on some interfaces to make the type space clean. Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard

ipmi: Remove platform driver overrides and use the id_table

2018-09-18T21:15:33+00:00

The IPMI DMI code was adding platform overrides, which is not really an ideal solution. Switch to using the id_table in the drivers to identify the devices. Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard

ipmi:dmi: Ignore IPMI SMBIOS entries with a zero base address

2018-09-18T21:15:33+00:00

Looking at logs from systems all over the place, it looks like tons of broken systems exist that set the base address to zero. I can only guess that is some sort of non-standard idea to mark the interface as not being present. It can't be zero, anyway, so just complain and ignore it. Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard

ipmi:dmi: Use pr_fmt in the IPMI DMI code

2018-09-18T21:15:33+00:00

It make things a little neater and saves some memory. Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard
