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

drivers: misc: sram: fix up some const issues with recent attribute changes

2025-06-24T15:44:44+00:00

The binary attribute const changes recently for the sram driver were made in a way that hid the fact that we would be casting a const pointer to a non-const one. So explicitly make the cast so that it is obvious and preserve the const pointer in the sram_reserve_cmp() function.

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

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

Get rid of 'remove_new' relic from platform driver struct

2024-12-01T23:12:43+00:00

The continual trickle of small conversion patches is grating on me, and is really not helping. Just get rid of the 'remove_new' member function, which is just an alias for the plain 'remove', and had a comment to that effect: /* * .remove_new() is a relic from a prototype conversion of .remove(). * New drivers are supposed to implement .remove(). Once all drivers are * converted to not use .remove_new any more, it will be dropped. */ This was just a tree-wide 'sed' script that replaced '.remove_new' with '.remove', with some care taken to turn a subsequent tab into two tabs to make things line up. I did do some minimal manual whitespace adjustment for places that used spaces to line things up. Then I just removed the old (sic) .remove_new member function, and this is the end result. No more unnecessary conversion noise. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

misc: sram: Convert to platform remove callback returning void

2024-03-05T14:28:52+00:00

The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by returning an error code. However the value returned is ignored (apart from emitting a warning) and this typically results in resource leaks. To improve here there is a quest to make the remove callback return void. In the first step of this quest all drivers are converted to .remove_new(), which already returns void. Eventually after all drivers are converted, .remove_new() will be renamed to .remove(). Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove callback to the void returning variant.

misc: Explicitly include correct DT includes

2023-08-04T13:39:04+00:00

The DT of_device.h and of_platform.h date back to the separate of_platform_bus_type before it as merged into the regular platform bus. As part of that merge prepping Arm DT support 13 years ago, they "temporarily" include each other. They also include platform_device.h and of.h. As a result, there's a pretty much random mix of those include files used throughout the tree. In order to detangle these headers and replace the implicit includes with struct declarations, users need to explicitly include the correct includes.

misc/genalloc: Name subpools by of_node_full_name()

2023-07-26T07:45:01+00:00

A previous commit tried to come up with more generic subpool names, but this isn't quite working: the node name was used elsewhere to match pools to consumers which regressed the nVidia Tegra 2/3 video decoder. Revert back to an earlier approach using of_node_full_name() instead of just the name to make sure the pool name is more unique, and change both sites using this in the kernel. It is not perfect since two SRAM nodes could have the same subpool name but it makes the situation better than before.
