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

mcb: fix incorrect sanity check

2026-01-27T14:54:09+00:00

__mcb_register_driver() makes some sanity checks over mcb_driver to check if .probe and .remove callbacks are set. However, since commit 3bd13ae04ccc ("gpio: menz127: simplify error path and remove remove()") removed the .remove callback from menz127-gpio.c, not all mcb device drivers implement .remove callback. Remove .remove check to ensure all mcb device drivers can be loaded.

mcb: use sysfs_emit_at() instead of scnprintf() in show functions

2025-07-16T12:17:07+00:00

This change improves clarity and ensures proper bounds checking in line with the preferred sysfs_emit() API usage for sysfs 'show' functions. The PAGE_SIZE check is now handled internally by the helper. No functional change intended.

module: Convert symbol namespace to string literal

Clean up the existing export namespace code along the same lines of commit 33def8498fdd ("treewide: Convert macro and uses of __section(foo) to __section("foo")") and for the same reason, it is not desired for the namespace argument to be a macro expansion itself.

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.

mcb: fix error handling for different scenarios when parsing

chameleon_parse_gdd() may fail for different reasons and end up in the err tag. Make sure we at least always free the mcb_device allocated with mcb_alloc_dev(). If mcb_device_register() fails, make sure to give up the reference in the same place the device was added.
