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

net: alacritech: Use u64_stats_t with u64_stats_sync properly

2026-01-27T02:57:48+00:00

On 64bit arches, struct u64_stats_sync is empty and provides no help against load/store tearing. Convert to u64_stats_t to ensure atomic operations. Signed-off-by: David Yang Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260122185113.2760355-1-mmyangfl@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

net: alacritech: Partially revert "net: alacritech: Switch to use dev_err_probe()"

2024-09-03T22:28:57+00:00

This reverts commit bf4d87f884fe8a4b6b61fe4d0e05f293d08df61c because it introduced dev_err_probe() in non-probe path, which is not desired. In general, calling dev_err_probe() after successful probe in case of handling -EPROBE_DEFER error, will set deferred status on the device already probed. This is however not a problem here now, because dev_err_probe() in affected places is used for handling errors from request_firmware(), which does not return -EPROBE_DEFER. Still usage of dev_err_probe() in such case is not correct, because request_firmware() could once return -EPROBE_DEFER.

net: ethernet: slicoss: remove redundant increment of pointer data

The pointer data is being incremented but this change to the pointer is not used afterwards. The increment is redundant and can be removed.

net: drop the weight argument from netif_napi_add

2022-09-29T01:57:14+00:00

We tell driver developers to always pass NAPI_POLL_WEIGHT as the weight to netif_napi_add(). This may be confusing to newcomers, drop the weight argument, those who really need to tweak the weight can use netif_napi_add_weight().
