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

ubi: Check for too small LEB size in VTBL code

2024-02-25T20:19:42+00:00

If the LEB size is smaller than a volume table record we cannot have volumes. In this case abort attaching.

ubi: Free the normal volumes in error paths of ubi_attach_mtd_dev()

2020-01-16T22:35:59+00:00

The allocated normal volumes saved in ubi->volumes are not freed in the error paths in ubi_attach_mtd_dev() and its callees (e.g. ubi_attach() and ubi_read_volume_table()). These normal volumes should be freed through kill_volumes() and vol_release(), but ubi_attach_mtd_dev() may fail before calling uif_init(), and there will be memory leaks. So adding a new helper ubi_free_all_volumes() to free the normal and the internal volumes. And in order to prevent double-free of volume, reset ubi->volumes[i] to NULL after freeing.

ubi: provide a way to skip CRC checks

2018-08-14T22:25:20+00:00

Some users of static UBI volumes implement their own integrity check, thus making the volume CRC check done at open time useless. For instance, this is the case when one use the ubiblock + dm-verity + squashfs combination, where dm-verity already checks integrity of the block device but this time at the block granularity instead of verifying the whole volume. Skipping this test drastically improves the boot-time.

UBI: introduce the VID buffer concept

2016-10-02T20:48:14+00:00

Currently, all VID headers are allocated and freed using the ubi_zalloc_vid_hdr() and ubi_free_vid_hdr() function. These functions make sure to align allocation on ubi->vid_hdr_alsize and adjust the vid_hdr pointer to match the ubi->vid_hdr_shift requirements. This works fine, but is a bit convoluted. Moreover, the future introduction of LEB consolidation (needed to support MLC/TLC NANDs) will allows a VID buffer to contain more than one VID header. Hence the creation of a ubi_vid_io_buf struct to attach extra information to the VID header. We currently only store the actual pointer of the underlying buffer, but will soon add the number of VID headers contained in the buffer.
