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

igbvf: remove unused fields from struct igbvf_adapter

2025-07-18T16:02:28+00:00

Remove following unused fields from struct igbvf_adapter that are never referenced in the driver. - blink_timer - eeprom_wol - fc_autoneg - int_mode - led_status - mng_vlan_id - polling_interval - rx_dma_failed - test_icr - test_rx_ring - test_tx_ring - tx_dma_failed - tx_fifo_head - tx_fifo_size - tx_head_addr Also removed the following fields from struct igbvf_adapter since they are never read or used after initialization by igbvf_probe() and igbvf_sw_init(). - bd_number - rx_abs_int_delay - tx_abs_int_delay - rx_int_delay - tx_int_delay This changes simplify the igbvf driver by removing unused fields, which improves maintenability.

igbvf: remove unused interrupt counter fields from struct igbvf_adapter

2025-07-03T16:39:04+00:00

Remove `int_counter0` and `int_counter1` from struct igbvf_adapter since they are only incremented in interrupt handlers igbvf_intr_msix_rx() and igbvf_msix_other(), but never read or used anywhere in the driver. Note that igbvf_intr_msix_tx() does not have similar counter increments, suggesting that these were likely overlooked during development. Eliminate the fields and their unnecessary accesses in interrupt handlers. Tested-by: Kohei Enju Signed-off-by: Kohei Enju Reviewed-by: Aleksandr Loktionov Signed-off-by: Tony Nguyen

net: annotate writes on dev->mtu from ndo_change_mtu()

2024-05-07T23:19:14+00:00

Simon reported that ndo_change_mtu() methods were never updated to use WRITE_ONCE(dev->mtu, new_mtu) as hinted in commit 501a90c94510 ("inet: protect against too small mtu values.") We read dev->mtu without holding RTNL in many places, with READ_ONCE() annotations. It is time to take care of ndo_change_mtu() methods to use corresponding WRITE_ONCE() Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Reported-by: Simon Horman Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20240505144608.GB67882@kernel.org/ Reviewed-by: Jacob Keller Reviewed-by: Sabrina Dubroca Reviewed-by: Simon Horman Acked-by: Shannon Nelson Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240506102812.3025432-1-edumazet@google.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski
