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

wifi: iwlegacy: add missing mutex protection in il4965_store_tx_power()

2026-01-27T12:52:04+00:00

il4965_store_tx_power() calls il_set_tx_power() without holding il->mutex. However, il_set_tx_power() has lockdep_assert_held(&il->mutex) indicating that callers must hold this lock. All other callers of il_set_tx_power() properly acquire the mutex: - il_bg_scan_completed() acquires mutex at common.c:1683 - il_mac_config() acquires mutex at common.c:5006 - il3945_commit_rxon() and il4965_commit_rxon() are called via work queues that hold the mutex (like il4965_bg_alive_start) Add mutex_lock()/mutex_unlock() around the il_set_tx_power() call in the sysfs store function to fix the missing lock protection.

wifi: iwlegacy: add missing mutex protection in il3945_store_measurement()

2026-01-27T12:51:54+00:00

il3945_store_measurement() calls il3945_get_measurement() which internally calls il_send_cmd_sync() without holding il->mutex. However, il_send_cmd_sync() has lockdep_assert_held(&il->mutex) indicating that callers must hold this lock. Other sysfs store functions in the same file properly acquire the mutex: - il3945_store_flags() acquires mutex at 3945-mac.c:3110 - il3945_store_filter_flags() acquires mutex at 3945-mac.c:3144 Add mutex_lock()/mutex_unlock() around the il3945_get_measurement() call in the sysfs store function to fix the missing lock protection.

wifi: cfg80211/mac80211: Add support to get radio index

2025-06-24T13:19:27+00:00

Currently, per-radio attributes are set on per-phy basis, i.e., all the radios present in a wiphy will take attributes values sent from user. But each radio in a wiphy can get different values from userspace based on its requirement. To extend support to set per-radio attributes, add support to get radio index from userspace. Add an NL attribute - NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_RADIO_INDEX, to get user specified radio index for which attributes should be changed. Pass this to individual drivers, so that the drivers can use this radio index to change per-radio attributes when necessary. Currently, per-radio attributes identified are: NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_TX_POWER_LEVEL NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_ANTENNA_TX NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_ANTENNA_RX NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_RETRY_SHORT NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_RETRY_LONG NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_FRAG_THRESHOLD NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_RTS_THRESHOLD NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_COVERAGE_CLASS NL80211_ATTR_TXQ_LIMIT NL80211_ATTR_TXQ_MEMORY_LIMIT NL80211_ATTR_TXQ_QUANTUM By default, the radio index is set to -1. This means the attribute should be treated as a global configuration. If the user has not specified any index, then the radio index passed to individual drivers would be -1. This would indicate that the attribute applies to all radios in that wiphy.
