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

intel_th: fix device leak on output open()

2026-01-16T15:42:41+00:00

Make sure to drop the reference taken when looking up the th device during output device open() on errors and on close(). Note that a recent commit fixed the leak in a couple of open() error paths but not all of them, and the reference is still leaking on successful open().

intel_th: Fix error handling in intel_th_output_open

2025-11-26T14:10:03+00:00

intel_th_output_open() calls bus_find_device_by_devt() which internally increments the device reference count via get_device(), but this reference is not properly released in several error paths. When device driver is unavailable, file operations cannot be obtained, or the driver's open method fails, the function returns without calling put_device(), leading to a permanent device reference count leak. This prevents the device from being properly released and could cause resource exhaustion over time. Found by code review.

Now that the driver core can properly handle constant struct bus_type, move the intel_th_bus_type variable to be a constant structure as well, placing it into read-only memory which can not be modified at runtime.

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.
