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

netdev_features: convert NETIF_F_LLTX to dev->lltx

2024-09-03T09:36:43+00:00

NETIF_F_LLTX can't be changed via Ethtool and is not a feature, rather an attribute, very similar to IFF_NO_QUEUE (and hot). Free one netdev_features_t bit and make it a "hot" private flag. Signed-off-by: Alexander Lobakin Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni

driver core: class: remove struct class_interface * from callbacks

2023-04-03T19:42:52+00:00

The add_dev and remove_dev callbacks in struct class_interface currently pass in a pointer back to the class_interface structure that is calling them, but none of the callback implementations actually use this pointer as it is pointless (the structure is known, the driver passed it in in the first place if it is really needed again.) So clean this up and just remove the pointer from the callbacks and fix up all callback functions. Cc: Jean Delvare Cc: Guenter Roeck Cc: "David S.

net: move from strlcpy with unused retval to strscpy

2022-08-31T21:11:07+00:00

Follow the advice of the below link and prefer 'strscpy' in this subsystem. Conversion is 1:1 because the return value is not used. Generated by a coccinelle script.

net: dev: Makes sure netif_rx() can be invoked in any context.

2022-02-14T13:38:35+00:00

Dave suggested a while ago (eleven years by now) "Let's make netif_rx() work in all contexts and get rid of netif_rx_ni()". Eric agreed and pointed out that modern devices should use netif_receive_skb() to avoid the overhead. In the meantime someone added another variant, netif_rx_any_context(), which behaves as suggested. netif_rx() must be invoked with disabled bottom halves to ensure that pending softirqs, which were raised within the function, are handled. netif_rx_ni() can be invoked only from process context (bottom halves must be enabled) because the function handles pending softirqs without checking if bottom halves were disabled or not. netif_rx_any_context() invokes on the former functions by checking in_interrupts(). netif_rx() could be taught to handle both cases (disabled and enabled bottom halves) by simply disabling bottom halves while invoking netif_rx_internal(). The local_bh_enable() invocation will then invoke pending softirqs only if the BH-disable counter drops to zero. Eric is concerned about the overhead of BH-disable+enable especially in regard to the loopback driver. As critical as this driver is, it will receive a shortcut to avoid the additional overhead which is not needed. Add a local_bh_disable() section in netif_rx() to ensure softirqs are handled if needed. Provide __netif_rx() which does not disable BH and has a lockdep assert to ensure that interrupts are disabled. Use this shortcut in the loopback driver and in drivers/net/*.c. Make netif_rx_ni() and netif_rx_any_context() invoke netif_rx() so they can be removed once they are no more users left.
