ieee802154: atusb: drop redundant device reference

2026-03-24T00:35:28+00:00

Driver core holds a reference to the USB interface and its parent USB device while the interface is bound to a driver and there is no need to take additional references unless the structures are needed after disconnect. Drop the redundant device reference to reduce cargo culting, make it easier to spot drivers where an extra reference is needed, and reduce the risk of memory leaks when drivers fail to release it.

Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL arguments

2026-02-22T04:03:00+00:00

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split over multiple lines. I only did the ones that are easy to verify the resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next line. Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial. So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed' scripts. The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want whitespace cleanup anyway. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

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

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski: "Core & protocols: - Continue Netlink conversions to per-namespace RTNL lock (IPv4 routing, routing rules, routing next hops, ARP ioctls) - Continue extending the use of netdev instance locks. As a driver opt-in protect queue operations and (in due course) ethtool operations with the instance lock and not RTNL lock. - Support collecting TCP timestamps (data submitted, sent, acked) in BPF, allowing for transparent (to the application) and lower overhead tracking of TCP RPC performance. - Tweak existing networking Rx zero-copy infra to support zero-copy Rx via io_uring. - Optimize MPTCP performance in single subflow mode by 29%. - Enable GRO on packets which went thru XDP CPU redirect (were queued for processing on a different CPU). Improving TCP stream performance up to 2x. - Improve performance of contended connect() by 200% by searching for an available 4-tuple under RCU rather than a spin lock. Bring an additional 229% improvement by tweaking hash distribution. - Avoid unconditionally touching sk_tsflags on RX, improving performance under UDP flood by as much as 10%. - Avoid skb_clone() dance in ping_rcv() to improve performance under ping flood. - Avoid FIB lookup in netfilter if socket is available, 20% perf win. - Rework network device creation (in-kernel) API to more clearly identify network namespaces and their roles. There are up to 4 namespace roles but we used to have just 2 netns pointer arguments, interpreted differently based on context. - Use sysfs_break_active_protection() instead of trylock to avoid deadlocks between unregistering objects and sysfs access. - Add a new sysctl and sockopt for capping max retransmit timeout in TCP. - Support masking port and DSCP in routing rule matches. - Support dumping IPv4 multicast addresses with RTM_GETMULTICAST. - Support specifying at what time packet should be sent on AF_XDP sockets. - Expose TCP ULP diagnostic info (for TLS and MPTCP) to non-admin users. - Add Netlink YAML spec for WiFi (nl80211) and conntrack. - Introduce EXPORT_IPV6_MOD() and EXPORT_IPV6_MOD_GPL() for symbols which only need to be exported when IPv6 support is built as a module. - Age FDB entries based on Rx not Tx traffic in VxLAN, similar to normal bridging. - Allow users to specify source port range for GENEVE tunnels. - netconsole: allow attaching kernel release, CPU ID and task name to messages as metadata Driver API: - Continue rework / fixing of Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) across the SW layers. Delegate the responsibilities to phylink where possible. Improve its handling in phylib. - Support symmetric OR-XOR RSS hashing algorithm. - Support tracking and preserving IRQ affinity by NAPI itself. - Support loopback mode speed selection for interface selftests. Device drivers: - Remove the IBM LCS driver for s390 - Remove the sb1000 cable modem driver - Add support for SFP module access over SMBus - Add MCTP transport driver for MCTP-over-USB - Enable XDP metadata support in multiple drivers - Ethernet high-speed NICs: - Broadcom (bnxt): - add PCIe TLP Processing Hints (TPH) support for new AMD platforms - support dumping RoCE queue state for debug - opt into instance locking - Intel (100G, ice, idpf): - ice: rework MSI-X IRQ management and distribution - ice: support for E830 devices - iavf: add support for Rx timestamping - iavf: opt into instance locking - nVidia/Mellanox: - mlx4: use page pool memory allocator for Rx - mlx5: support for one PTP device per hardware clock - mlx5: support for 200Gbps per-lane link modes - mlx5: move IPSec policy check after decryption - AMD/Solarflare: - support FW flashing via devlink - Cisco (enic): - use page pool memory allocator for Rx - enable 32, 64 byte CQEs - get max rx/tx ring size from the device - Meta (fbnic): - support flow steering and RSS configuration - report queue stats - support TCP segmentation - support IRQ coalescing - support ring size configuration - Marvell/Cavium: - support AF_XDP - Wangxun: - support for PTP clock and timestamping - Huawei (hibmcge): - checksum offload - add more statistics - Ethernet virtual: - VirtIO net: - aggressively suppress Tx completions, improve perf by 96% with 1 CPU and 55% with 2 CPUs - expose NAPI to IRQ mapping and persist NAPI settings - Google (gve): - support XDP in DQO RDA Queue Format - opt into instance locking - Microsoft vNIC: - support BIG TCP - Ethernet NICs consumer, and embedded: - Synopsys (stmmac): - cleanup Tx and Tx clock setting and other link-focused cleanups - enable SGMII and 2500BASEX mode switching for Intel platforms - support Sophgo SG2044 - Broadcom switches (b53): - support for BCM53101 - TI: - iep: add perout configuration support - icssg: support XDP - Cadence (macb): - implement BQL - Xilinx (axinet): - support dynamic IRQ moderation and changing coalescing at runtime - implement BQL - report standard stats - MediaTek: - support phylink managed EEE - Intel: - igc: don't restart the interface on every XDP program change - RealTek (r8169): - support reading registers of internal PHYs directly - increase max jumbo packet size on RTL8125/RTL8126 - Airoha: - support for RISC-V NPU packet processing unit - enable scatter-gather and support MTU up to 9kB - Tehuti (tn40xx): - support cards with TN4010 MAC and an Aquantia AQR105 PHY - Ethernet PHYs: - support for TJA1102S, TJA1121 - dp83tg720: add randomized polling intervals for link detection - dp83822: support changing the transmit amplitude voltage - support for LEDs on 88q2xxx - CAN: - canxl: support Remote Request Substitution bit access - flexcan: add S32G2/S32G3 SoC - WiFi: - remove cooked monitor support - strict mode for better AP testing - basic EPCS support - OMI RX bandwidth reduction support - batman-adv: add support for jumbo frames - WiFi drivers: - RealTek (rtw88): - support RTL8814AE and RTL8814AU - RealTek (rtw89): - switch using wiphy_lock and wiphy_work - add BB context to manipulate two PHY as preparation of MLO - improve BT-coexistence mechanism to play A2DP smoothly - Intel (iwlwifi): - add new iwlmld sub-driver for latest HW/FW combinations - MediaTek (mt76): - preparation for mt7996 Multi-Link Operation (MLO) support - Qualcomm/Atheros (ath12k): - continued work on MLO - Silabs (wfx): - Wake-on-WLAN support - Bluetooth: - add support for skb TX SND/COMPLETION timestamping - hci_core: enable buffer flow control for SCO/eSCO - coredump: log devcd dumps into the monitor - Bluetooth drivers: - intel: add support to configure TX power - nxp: handle bootloader error during cmd5 and cmd7" * tag 'net-next-6.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next: (1681 commits) unix: fix up for "apparmor: add fine grained af_unix mediation" mctp: Fix incorrect tx flow invalidation condition in mctp-i2c net: usb: asix: ax88772: Increase phy_name size net: phy: Introduce PHY_ID_SIZE — minimum size for PHY ID string net: libwx: fix Tx L4 checksum net: libwx: fix Tx descriptor content for some tunnel packets atm: Fix NULL pointer dereference net: tn40xx: add pci-id of the aqr105-based Tehuti TN4010 cards net: tn40xx: prepare tn40xx driver to find phy of the TN9510 card net: tn40xx: create swnode for mdio and aqr105 phy and add to mdiobus net: phy: aquantia: add essential functions to aqr105 driver net: phy: aquantia: search for firmware-name in fwnode net: phy: aquantia: add probe function to aqr105 for firmware loading net: phy: Add swnode support to mdiobus_scan gve: add XDP DROP and PASS support for DQ gve: update XDP allocation path support RX buffer posting gve: merge packet buffer size fields gve: update GQ RX to use buf_size gve: introduce config-based allocation for XDP gve: remove xdp_xsk_done and xdp_xsk_wakeup statistics ...

ieee802154: ca8210: Switch to using gpiod API
