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

block: switch ->getgeo() to struct gendisk

2025-08-13T06:59:29+00:00

Instances are happier that way and it makes more sense anyway - the only part of the result that is related to partition we are given is the start sector, and that has been filled in by the caller. Everything else is a function of the disk. Only one instance (DASD) is ever looking at anything other than bdev->bd_disk and that one is trivial to adjust. Reviewed-by: Martin K.

BLK_MQ_F_SHOULD_MERGE is set for all tag_sets except those that purely process passthrough commands (bsg-lib, ufs tmf, various nvme admin queues) and thus don't even check the flag. Remove it to simplify the driver interface. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241219060214.1928848-1-hch@lst.de Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

ubi: block: fix null-pointer-dereference in ubiblock_create()

2024-07-12T19:56:23+00:00

Similar to commit adbf4c4954e3 ("ubi: block: fix memleak in ubiblock_create()"), 'dev->gd' is not assigned but dereferenced if blk_mq_alloc_tag_set() fails, and leading to a null-pointer-dereference. Fix it by using pr_err() and variable 'dev' to print error log. Additionally, the log in the error handle path of idr_alloc() has been improved by using pr_err(), too. Before initializing device name, using dev_err() will print error log with 'null' instead of the actual device name, like this: block (null): ... ~~~~~~ It is unclear. Using pr_err() can print more details of the device. The improved log is: ubiblock0_0: ...

mtd: ubi: block: use notifier to create ubiblock from parameter

Use UBI_VOLUME_ADDED notification to create ubiblock device specified on kernel cmdline or module parameter. This makes thing more simple and has the advantage that ubiblock devices on volumes which are not present at the time the ubi module is probed will still be created.
