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

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

sysfs: treewide: switch back to bin_attribute::read()/write()

2025-06-17T08:44:13+00:00

The bin_attribute argument of bin_attribute::read() is now const. This makes the _new() callbacks unnecessary. Switch all users back.

misc: eeprom/max6875: 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.

eeprom: Drop explicit initialization of struct i2c_device_id::driver_data to 0

2024-06-04T15:47:27+00:00

These drivers don't use the driver_data member of struct i2c_device_id, so don't explicitly initialize this member. This prepares putting driver_data in an anonymous union which requires either no initialization or named designators. But it's also a nice cleanup on its own.

misc: Switch i2c drivers back to use .probe()

2023-05-29T14:04:52+00:00

After commit b8a1a4cd5a98 ("i2c: Provide a temporary .probe_new() call-back type"), all drivers being converted to .probe_new() and then 03c835f498b5 ("i2c: Switch .probe() to not take an id parameter") convert back to (the new) .probe() to be able to eventually drop .probe_new() from struct i2c_driver. While touching these drivers, fix alignment in apds990x.c and bh1770glc.c.

The probe function doesn't make use of the i2c_device_id * parameter so it can be trivially converted. Signed-off-by: Uwe Kleine-König Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221118224540.619276-490-uwe@kleine-koenig.org Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

i2c: Make remove callback return void

2022-08-16T10:46:26+00:00

The value returned by an i2c driver's remove function is mostly ignored. (Only an error message is printed if the value is non-zero that the error is ignored.) So change the prototype of the remove function to return no value. This way driver authors are not tempted to assume that passing an error to the upper layer is a good idea. All drivers are adapted accordingly. There is no intended change of behaviour, all callbacks were prepared to return 0 before.
