Linux kernel stable tree (mirror) https://git.radix-linux.su/kernel/linux.git/atom?h=v7.0-rc7 2026-02-21T09:02:28+00:00 2026-02-21T09:02:28+00:00 Kees Cook kees@kernel.org 2026-02-21T07:49:23+00:00 urn:sha1:69050f8d6d075dc01af7a5f2f550a8067510366f 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 *".

Also, rename a few things in the uapi header to reflect that syncobj use is not specific to the submit ioctl.
