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

nubus: Call put_device() in bus initialization error path

2026-01-26T11:26:01+00:00

The error path for bus initialization is missing a call to put_device(). Add that call. This error path will probably never actually execute, but any kernel source code may be subject to static checking or re-use.

nubus: Make nubus_bus_type static and constant

2024-01-03T12:33:59+00:00

Now that the driver core can properly handle constant struct bus_type, move the nubus_bus_type variable to be a constant structure as well, placing it into read-only memory which can not be modified at runtime. It's also never used outside of drivers/nubus/bus.c so make it static and don't export it as no one is using it.

nubus: Don't list slot resources by default

2023-05-22T11:51:56+00:00

Some Nubus card ROMs contain many slot resources. A single Radius video card produced well over a thousand entries under /proc/bus/nubus/. Populating /proc/bus/nubus/ on a slow machine with several such cards installed takes long enough that the user may think that the system is wedged. All those procfs entries also consume significant RAM though they are not normally needed (except by developers). Omit these resources from /proc/bus/nubus/ by default and add a kernel parameter to enable them when needed. On the test machine, this saved 300 kB and 10 seconds.
