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

sysfs: treewide: switch back to attribute_group::bin_attrs

2025-06-17T08:44:15+00:00

The normal bin_attrs field can now handle const pointers. This makes the _new variant unnecessary. Switch all users back. Signed-off-by: Thomas Weißschuh Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250530-sysfs-const-bin_attr-final-v3-4-724bfcf05b99@weissschuh.net Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

misc: c2port: Constify 'struct bin_attribute'

2024-12-24T08:36:02+00:00

The sysfs core now allows instances of 'struct bin_attribute' to be moved into read-only memory. Make use of that to protect them against accidental or malicious modifications.

misc: c2port: Calculate bin_attribute size through group callback

2024-12-24T08:36:02+00:00

Modifying the size of the global bin_attribute instance can be racy. Instead use the new .bin_size callback to do so safely. For this to work move the initialization of c2dev->ops before the call to device_create() as the size callback will need access to it.

c2port: replace deprecated strncpy with strscpy

2023-10-05T11:34:05+00:00

`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces. We expect `c2dev->name` to be NUL-terminated based on its usage with format strings: | dev_info(c2dev->dev, "C2 port %s removed\n", c2dev->name); Moreover, NUL-padding is _not_ required as c2dev is zero-allocated: | c2dev = kzalloc(sizeof(struct c2port_device), GFP_KERNEL); Considering the above, a suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2] due to the fact that it guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer without unnecessarily NUL-padding. Let's also drop `C2PORT_NAME_LEN - 1` for `sizeof(dest)` which is more idiomatic strscpy usage.

driver core: class: remove module * from class_create()

2023-03-17T14:16:33+00:00

The module pointer in class_create() never actually did anything, and it shouldn't have been requred to be set as a parameter even if it did something. So just remove it and fix up all callers of the function in the kernel tree at the same time. Cc: "Rafael J.

misc: c2port: core: Make copying name from userspace more secure

2020-11-03T09:12:10+00:00

Currently the 'c2dev' device data is not initialised when it's allocated. There maybe an issue when using strncpy() to populate the 'name' attribute since a NUL terminator may not be provided in all use-cases. To prevent such a failing, let's ensure the 'c2dev' device data area is fully zeroed out on allocation.
