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

eth: via-rhine: fix calling napi_enable() in atomic context

2025-01-27T22:30:49+00:00

napi_enable() may sleep now, take netdev_lock() before rp->lock. napi_enable() is hidden inside init_registers(). Note that this patch orders netdev_lock after rp->task_lock, to avoid having to take the netdev_lock() around disable path.

net: protect NAPI enablement with netdev_lock()

2025-01-16T03:13:34+00:00

Wrap napi_enable() / napi_disable() with netdev_lock(). Provide the "already locked" flavor of the API. iavf needs the usual adjustment. A number of drivers call napi_enable() under a spin lock, so they have to be modified to take netdev_lock() first, then spin lock then call napi_enable_locked(). Protecting napi_enable() implies that napi->napi_id is protected by netdev_lock().

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.

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

net: handle HAS_IOPORT dependencies

2024-04-08T10:56:56+00:00

In a future patch HAS_IOPORT=n will disable inb()/outb() and friends at compile time. We thus need to add HAS_IOPORT as dependency for those drivers requiring them. For the DEFXX driver the use of I/O ports is optional and we only need to fence specific code paths. It also turns out that with HAS_IOPORT handled explicitly HAMRADIO does not need the !S390 dependency and successfully builds the bpqether driver.

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

2023-09-20T08:06:41+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

net: Explicitly include correct DT includes

2023-07-28T03:33:16+00:00

The DT of_device.h and of_platform.h date back to the separate of_platform_bus_type before it as merged into the regular platform bus. As part of that merge prepping Arm DT support 13 years ago, they "temporarily" include each other. They also include platform_device.h and of.h. As a result, there's a pretty much random mix of those include files used throughout the tree. In order to detangle these headers and replace the implicit includes with struct declarations, users need to explicitly include the correct includes.
