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

2026-02-22T01:09:51+00:00

This is the exact same thing as the 'alloc_obj()' version, only much smaller because there are a lot fewer users of the *alloc_flex() interface. As with alloc_obj() version, this was done entirely with mindless brute force, using the same script, except using 'flex' in the pattern rather than 'objs*'. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

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

mtd: physmap-core: Prioritize ofparts for OF probe

2026-01-29T19:11:15+00:00

Place the ofparts before RedBoot partitions in the OF probe path: this makes it possible to override any existing RedBoot partitions with fixed-partitions which may be necessary, such as when you need to repartition the flash from Linux' point of view but not necessary from the bootloaders point of view. This happens when a device such as Raidsonic IB-4220-B has three partitions named "Kern", "Ramdisk" and "Application" that we want to merge into one for more efficient use of the flash memory in OpenWrt.

mtd: maps: pcmciamtd: fix potential memory leak in pcmciamtd_detach()

2025-11-17T10:49:14+00:00

The memory allocated for struct pcmciamtd_dev in pcmciamtd_probe() is not freed in the corresponding remove function pcmciamtd_detach(). Fix that by freeing it in the remove function. Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2") Signed-off-by: Abdun Nihaal Signed-off-by: Miquel Raynal

mtd: Switch back to struct platform_driver::remove()

2024-10-21T09:58:07+00:00

After commit 0edb555a65d1 ("platform: Make platform_driver::remove() return void") .remove() is (again) the right callback to implement for platform drivers. Convert all platform drivers below drivers/mtd to use .remove(), with the eventual goal to drop struct platform_driver::remove_new(). As .remove() and .remove_new() have the same prototypes, conversion is done by just changing the structure member name in the driver initializer.

mtd: physmap: Use -y instead of -objs in Makefile

2024-05-27T11:39:53+00:00

*-objs suffix is reserved rather for (user-space) host programs while usually *-y suffix is used for kernel drivers (although *-objs works for that purpose for now). Let's correct the old usages of *-objs in Makefiles.

mtd: maps: sa1100-flash: Prefer struct_size over open coded arithmetic

2024-04-09T06:35:37+00:00

This is an effort to get rid of all multiplications from allocation functions in order to prevent integer overflows [1][2]. As the "info" variable is a pointer to "struct sa_info" and this structure ends in a flexible array: struct sa_info { [...] struct sa_subdev_info subdev[]; }; the preferred way in the kernel is to use the struct_size() helper to do the arithmetic instead of the calculation "size + size * count" in the kzalloc() function. This way, the code is more readable and safer. This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle, and audited and modified manually.
