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

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: serport - use guard notation when acquiring spinlock

2024-10-04T07:58:17+00:00

Using guard notation makes the code more compact and error handling more robust by ensuring that locks are released in all code paths when control leaves critical section. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240905041732.2034348-19-dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov

Input: serio - use sizeof(*pointer) instead of sizeof(type)

2024-06-07T18:59:21+00:00

It is preferred to use sizeof(*pointer) instead of sizeof(type) due to the type of the variable can change and one needs not change the former (unlike the latter). This patch has no effect on runtime behavior.

tty: ldops: unify to u8

2023-08-11T19:12:47+00:00

Some hooks in struct tty_ldisc_ops still reference buffers by 'unsigned char'. Unify to 'u8' as the rest of the tty layer does.

tty: use u8 for flags

2023-08-11T19:12:45+00:00

This makes all those 'char's an explicit 'u8'. This is part of the continuing unification of chars and flags to be consistent u8. This approaches tty_port_default_receive_buf(). Note that we do not change signedness as we compile with -funsigned-char.

2023-08-11T19:12:45+00:00

Count passed to tty_ldisc_ops::receive_buf*(), ::lookahead_buf(), and returned from ::receive_buf2() is expected to be size_t. So set it to size_t to unify with the rest of the code.

input: serport: remove casts from tty->disc_data

tty->disc_data is 'void *', so there is no need to cast from that. Therefore remove the casts and assign the pointer directly.
