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: netsec: Add metadata support for xdp mode

2025-03-25T11:35:41+00:00

Set metadata size building the skb from xdp_buff in netsec driver. netsec driver sets xdp headroom to NETSEC_RXBUF_HEADROOM: NETSEC_RXBUF_HEADROOM max(XDP_PACKET_HEADROOM, NET_SKB_PAD) + NET_IP_ALIGN so the headroom is large enough to contain xdp_frame and xdp metadata. Please note this patch is just compiled tested.

net: ethernet: Switch back to struct platform_driver::remove()

2024-10-04T23:39:56+00:00

After commit 0edb555a65d1 ("platform: Make platform_driver::remove() return void") .remove() is (again) the right callback to implement for platform drivers. Convert all platform drivers below drivers/net/ethernet to use .remove(), with the eventual goal to drop struct platform_driver::remove_new(). As .remove() and .remove_new() have the same prototypes, conversion is done by just changing the structure member name in the driver initializer.

eth: link netdev to page_pools in drivers

2023-11-28T14:48:39+00:00

Link page pool instances to netdev for the drivers which already link to NAPI. Unless the driver is doing something very weird per-NAPI should imply per-netdev. Add netsec as well, Ilias indicates that it fits the mold. Reviewed-by: Eric Dumazet Acked-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni

net: ethernet: socionext: Convert to platform remove callback returning void

2023-09-20T08:06:40+00:00

The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by returning an error code. However the value returned is ignored (apart from emitting a warning) and this typically results in resource leaks. To improve here there is a quest to make the remove callback return void. In the first step of this quest all drivers are converted to .remove_new() which already returns void. Eventually after all drivers are converted, .remove_new() is renamed to .remove(). Trivially convert these drivers from always returning zero in the remove callback to the void returning variant. Signed-off-by: Uwe Kleine-König Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

page_pool: split types and declarations from page_pool.h

2023-08-07T20:05:19+00:00

Split types and pure function declarations from page_pool.h and add them in page_page/types.h, so that C sources can include page_pool.h and headers should generally only include page_pool/types.h as suggested by jakub. Rename page_pool.h to page_pool/helpers.h to have both in one place.
