Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument

2026-02-22T01:09:51+00:00

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

Input: byd - use %*ph for Z packet dump

2025-12-09T07:14:29+00:00

Replace the hand-rolled %02x formatting of the Z packet warning in the BYD driver with the %*ph format specifier. %*ph is the preferred helper for printing a buffer in hexadecimal and makes the logging clearer and more consistent.

treewide, timers: Rename from_timer() to timer_container_of()

2025-06-08T07:07:37+00:00

Move this API to the canonical timer_*() namespace. [ tglx: Redone against pre rc1 ] Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/aB2X0jCKQO56WdMt@gmail.com

treewide: Switch/rename to timer_delete[_sync]()

2025-04-05T08:30:12+00:00

timer_delete[_sync]() replaces del_timer[_sync](). Convert the whole tree over and remove the historical wrapper inlines. Conversion was done with coccinelle plus manual fixups where necessary. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

Input: byd - use guard notation when pausing serio port

2024-10-04T07:58:15+00:00

Using guard notation makes the code more compact and error handling more robust by ensuring that serio ports are resumed in all code paths when control leaves critical section. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240905041732.2034348-5-dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov

Input: byd - fix typo in a comment

The double `the' in a comment is repeated, thus it should be removed. Signed-off-by: Xiang wangx Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211216082735.11948-1-wangxiang@cdjrlc.com Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov
