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

mtdblock: make warning messages ratelimited

2023-07-27T15:16:14+00:00

When exercising various dev interfaces with stress-ng the mtdblock drivers can be (ab)used to generate a lot of warning messages. Make these rate limited to reduce the kernel log from being spammed with the same messages.

mtdblock: Warn if added for a NAND device

2021-08-17T16:41:59+00:00

There is a surprisingly large number of tutorials that suggest using mtdblock to mount SquashFS filesystems on flash devices, including NAND devices. This approach is suboptimal than using UBI. If the flash device is NAND, this is specially true, due to wear leveling, bit-flips and badblocks. In this case UBI is strongly preferred, so be nice to users and print a warning suggesting to consider UBI block, if mtdblock is added for a NAND device.
