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

memregion: Support fine grained invalidate by cpu_cache_invalidate_memregion()

2025-11-17T23:45:45+00:00

Extend cpu_cache_invalidate_memregion() to support invalidating a particular range of memory by introducing start and length parameters. Control of types of invalidation is left for when use cases turn up. For now everything is Clean and Invalidate. Where the range is unknown, use the provided cpu_cache_invalidate_all() helper to act as documentation of intent in a fashion that is clearer than passing (0, -1) to cpu_cache_invalidate_memregion().

memregion: Drop unused IORES_DESC_* parameter from cpu_cache_invalidate_memregion()

2025-11-17T23:45:45+00:00

The res_desc parameter was originally introduced for documentation purposes and with the idea that with HDM-DB CXL invalidation could be triggered from the device. That has not come to pass and the continued existence of the option is confusing when we add a range in the following patch which might not be a strict subset of the res_desc. So avoid that confusion by dropping the parameter.

Clean up the existing export namespace code along the same lines of commit 33def8498fdd ("treewide: Convert macro and uses of __section(foo) to __section("foo")") and for the same reason, it is not desired for the namespace argument to be a macro expansion itself.

libnvdimm: Annotate struct nd_region with __counted_by

2023-09-27T17:33:47+00:00

Prepare for the coming implementation by GCC and Clang of the __counted_by attribute. Flexible array members annotated with __counted_by can have their accesses bounds-checked at run-time checking via CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS (for array indexing) and CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE (for strcpy/memcpy-family functions). As found with Coccinelle[1], add __counted_by for struct nd_region. Additionally, since the element count member must be set before accessing the annotated flexible array member, move its initialization earlier.

nd_btt: Make BTT lanes preemptible

2023-09-27T17:33:47+00:00

nd_region_acquire_lane uses get_cpu, which disables preemption. This is an issue on PREEMPT_RT kernels, since btt_write_pg and also nd_region_acquire_lane itself take a spin lock, resulting in BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context. Fix the issue by replacing get_cpu with smp_process_id and migrate_disable when needed. This makes BTT operations preemptible, thus permitting the use of spin_lock. BUG example occurring when running ndctl tests on PREEMPT_RT kernel: BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/spinlock_rt.c:48 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, non_block: 0, pid: 4903, name: libndctl preempt_count: 1, expected: 0 RCU nest depth: 0, expected: 0 Preemption disabled at: [] nd_region_acquire_lane+0x15/0x90 [libnvdimm] Call Trace: dump_stack_lvl+0x8e/0xb0 __might_resched+0x19b/0x250 rt_spin_lock+0x4c/0x100 ? btt_write_pg+0x2d7/0x500 [nd_btt] btt_write_pg+0x2d7/0x500 [nd_btt] ? local_clock_noinstr+0x9/0xc0 btt_submit_bio+0x16d/0x270 [nd_btt] __submit_bio+0x48/0x80 __submit_bio_noacct+0x7e/0x1e0 submit_bio_wait+0x58/0xb0 __blkdev_direct_IO_simple+0x107/0x240 ? inode_set_ctime_current+0x51/0x110 ? __pfx_submit_bio_wait_endio+0x10/0x10 blkdev_write_iter+0x1d8/0x290 vfs_write+0x237/0x330 ...
