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

drm/gem-atomic: Reset plane state to NULL if allocation failed

Unconditionally reset plane->state to NULL if the allocation of the shadow plane state fails. Avoids an invalid address in the field. Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann Reviewed-by: Javier Martinez Canillas Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20251017091919.58770-1-tzimmermann@suse.de

drm/sysfb: Do not dereference NULL pointer in plane reset

The plane state in __drm_gem_reset_shadow_plane() can be NULL. Do not deref that pointer, but forward NULL to the other plane-reset helpers.

drm/atomic-helper: Add format-conversion state to shadow-plane state

2023-11-14T09:01:14+00:00

Store an instance of struct drm_format_conv_state in the shadow-plane state struct drm_shadow_plane_state. Many drivers with shadow planes use DRM's format helpers to copy or convert the framebuffer data to backing storage in the scanout buffer. The shadow plane provides the necessary state and manages the conversion's intermediate buffer memory.

drm/simple-kms: Remove drm_gem_simple_display_pipe_prepare_fb()

2022-12-05T12:35:37+00:00

The helper drm_gem_simple_display_pipe_prepare_fb() is simple-KMS' default implementation for prepare_fb. Remove the call from drivers that set it explicitly. Then inline the helper into the only caller within simple-kms helpers. No functional changes. Simple-KMS drivers that implement the prepare_fb callback should call drm_gem_plane_helper_prepare_fb() directly. v2: * fix typo in commit message Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann Reviewed-by: Noralf Trønnes Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20221202125644.7917-2-tzimmermann@suse.de
