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

mtd: use vmalloc_array and vcalloc to simplify code

2025-09-11T15:34:15+00:00

Remove array_size() calls and replace vmalloc(array_size()) with vmalloc_array() and vzalloc(array_size()) with vcalloc() to simplify the code. Compile-tested only. Signed-off-by: Qianfeng Rong Signed-off-by: Miquel Raynal

mtd: always initialize 'stats' in struct mtd_oob_ops

2022-09-21T08:38:07+00:00

As the 'stats' field in struct mtd_oob_ops is used in conditional expressions, ensure it is always zero-initialized in all such structures to prevent random stack garbage from being interpreted as a pointer. Strictly speaking, this problem currently only needs to be fixed for struct mtd_oob_ops structures subsequently passed to mtd_read_oob(). However, this commit goes a step further and makes all instances of struct mtd_oob_ops in the tree zero-initialized, in hope of preventing future problems, e.g. if struct mtd_req_stats gets extended with write statistics at some point.

block: remove genhd.h

2022-02-02T14:49:59+00:00

There is no good reason to keep genhd.h separate from the main blkdev.h header that includes it. So fold the contents of genhd.h into blkdev.h and remove genhd.h entirely.

mtd: mtdswap: Remove redundant assignment of pointer eb

2021-09-14T17:36:34+00:00

The pointer eb is being assigned a value that is never read, it is being updated later on. The assignment is redundant and can be removed.

mtd: no need to check return value of debugfs_create functions

2019-11-14T09:57:38+00:00

When calling debugfs functions, there is no need to ever check the return value. The function can work or not, but the code logic should never do something different based on this.
