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

driver core: have match() callback in struct bus_type take a const *

2024-07-03T13:16:54+00:00

In the match() callback, the struct device_driver * should not be changed, so change the function callback to be a const *. This is one step of many towards making the driver core safe to have struct device_driver in read-only memory. Because the match() callback is in all busses, all busses are modified to handle this properly. This does entail switching some container_of() calls to container_of_const() to properly handle the constant *. For some busses, like PCI and USB and HV, the const * is cast away in the match callback as those busses do want to modify those structures at this point in time (they have a local lock in the driver structure.) That will have to be changed in the future if they wish to have their struct device * in read-only-memory. Cc: Rafael J.

dax/bus.c: use the right locking mode (read vs write) in size_show

2024-05-07T17:37:01+00:00

In size_show(), the dax_dev_rwsem only needs a read lock, but was acquiring a write lock. Change it to down_read_interruptible() so it doesn't unnecessarily hold a write lock.

dax/bus.c: fix locking for unregister_dax_dev / unregister_dax_mapping paths

2024-05-07T17:37:00+00:00

Commit c05ae9d85b47 ("dax/bus.c: replace driver-core lock usage by a local rwsem") aimed to undo device_lock() abuses for protecting changes to dax-driver internal data-structures like the dax_region resource tree to device-dax-instance range structures. However, the device_lock() was legitimately enforcing that devices to be deleted were not current actively attached to any driver nor assigned any capacity from the region. As a result of the device_lock restoration in delete_store(), the conditional locking in unregister_dev_dax() and unregister_dax_mapping() can be removed.

dax/bus.c: replace WARN_ON_ONCE() with lockdep asserts

2024-05-07T17:37:00+00:00

Patch series "dax/bus.c: Fixups for dax-bus locking", v3. Commit Fixes: c05ae9d85b47 ("dax/bus.c: replace driver-core lock usage by a local rwsem") introduced a few problems that this series aims to fix. Add back device_lock() where it was correctly used (during device manipulation operations), remove conditional locking in unregister_dax_dev() and unregister_dax_mapping(), use non-interruptible versions of rwsem locks when not called from a user process, and fix up a write vs. read usage of an rwsem. This patch (of 4): In [1], Dan points out that all of the WARN_ON_ONCE() usage in the referenced patch should be replaced with lockdep_assert_held, or lockdep_held_assert_write(). Replace these as appropriate.
