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: Use netif_threaded_enable instead of netif_set_threaded in drivers

2025-07-25T01:34:55+00:00

Prepare for adding an enum type for NAPI threaded states by adding netif_threaded_enable API. De-export the existing netif_set_threaded API and only use it internally. Update existing drivers to use netif_threaded_enable instead of the de-exported netif_set_threaded. Note that dev_set_threaded used by mt76 debugfs file is unchanged.

2025-07-19T00:27:47+00:00

Commit cc34acd577f1 ("docs: net: document new locking reality") introduced netif_ vs dev_ function semantics: the former expects locked netdev, the latter takes care of the locking. We don't strictly follow this semantics on either side, but there are more dev_xxx handlers now that don't fit. Rename them to netif_xxx where appropriate. Note that one dev_set_threaded call still remains in mt76 for debugfs file.

ethernet: atl1: Add missing DMA mapping error checks and count errors

2025-06-27T23:59:57+00:00

The `dma_map_XXX()` functions can fail and must be checked using `dma_mapping_error()`. This patch adds proper error handling for all DMA mapping calls. In `atl1_alloc_rx_buffers()`, if DMA mapping fails, the buffer is deallocated and marked accordingly. In `atl1_tx_map()`, previously mapped buffers are unmapped and the packet is dropped on failure. If `atl1_xmit_frame()` drops the packet, increment the tx_error counter. Fixes: f3cc28c79760 ("Add Attansic L1 ethernet driver.")

net: ag71xx: move assignment into main loop
