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

nvdimm: Introduce guard() for nvdimm_bus_lock

2025-09-25T17:40:11+00:00

Converting nvdimm_bus_lock/unlock to guard() to clean up usage of gotos for error handling and avoid future mistakes of missed unlock on error paths.

nvdimm: Remove usage of the deprecated ida_simple_xx() API

2024-01-03T20:21:36+00:00

ida_alloc() and ida_free() should be preferred to the deprecated ida_simple_get() and ida_simple_remove(). This is less verbose.

nvdimm: Drop nd_device_lock()

2022-04-28T21:01:55+00:00

Now that all NVDIMM subsystem locking is validated with custom lock classes, there is no need for the custom usage of the lockdep_mutex.

nvdimm: Replace lockdep_mutex with local lock classes

2022-04-28T21:01:55+00:00

In response to an attempt to expand dev->lockdep_mutex for device_lock() validation [1], Peter points out [2] that the lockdep API already has the ability to assign a dedicated lock class per subsystem device-type. Use lockdep_set_class() to override the default device_lock() '__lockdep_no_validate__' class for each NVDIMM subsystem device-type. This enables lockdep to detect deadlocks and recursive locking within the device-driver core and the subsystem.

block: remove genhd.h

There is no good reason to keep genhd.h separate from the main blkdev.h header that includes it. So fold the contents of genhd.h into blkdev.h and remove genhd.h entirely.

libnvdimm/labels: Add uuid helpers

2021-09-21T20:44:55+00:00

In preparation for CXL labels that move the uuid to a different offset in the label, add nsl_{ref,get,validate}_uuid(). These helpers use the proper uuid_t type. That type definition predated the libnvdimm subsystem, so now is as a good a time as any to convert all the uuid handling in the subsystem to uuid_t to match the helpers. Note that the uuid fields in the label data and superblocks is not replaced per Andy's expectation that uuid_t is a kernel internal type not to appear in external ABI interfaces. So, in those case {import,export}_uuid() is used to go between the 2 types. Also note that this rework uncovered some unnecessary copies for label comparisons, those are cleaned up with nsl_uuid_equal(). As for the whitespace changes, all new code is clang-format compliant.

libnvdimm: Move attribute groups to device type

Statically initialize the attribute groups for each libnvdimm device_type. This is a preparation step for removing unnecessary exports of attributes that can be included in the device_type by default. Also take the opportunity to mark 'struct device_type' instances const.

driver-core, libnvdimm: Let device subsystems add local lockdep coverage

2019-07-18T23:23:27+00:00

For good reason, the standard device_lock() is marked lockdep_set_novalidate_class() because there is simply no sane way to describe the myriad ways the device_lock() ordered with other locks. However, that leaves subsystems that know their own local device_lock() ordering rules to find lock ordering mistakes manually. Instead, introduce an optional / additional lockdep-enabled lock that a subsystem can acquire in all the same paths that the device_lock() is acquired. A conversion of the NFIT driver and NVDIMM subsystem to a lockdep-validate device_lock() scheme is included. The debug_nvdimm_lock() implementation implements the correct lock-class and stacking order for the libnvdimm device topology hierarchy. Yes, this is a hack, but hopefully it is a useful hack for other subsystems device_lock() debug sessions. Quoting Greg: "Yeah, it feels a bit hacky but it's really up to a subsystem to mess up using it as much as anything else, so user beware :) I don't object to it if it makes things easier for you to debug."
