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

nvme: remove virtual boundary for sgl capable devices

2025-11-07T01:11:58+00:00

The nvme virtual boundary is only required for the PRP format. Devices that can use SGL for DMA don't need it for IO queues. Drop reporting it for such devices; rdma fabrics controllers will continue to use the limit as they currently don't report any boundary requirements, but tcp and fc never needed it in the first place so they get to report no virtual boundary. Applications may continue to align to the same virtual boundaries for optimization purposes if they want, and the driver will continue to decide whether to use the PRP format the same as before if the IO allows it.

nvmet: simplify the nvmet_req_init() interface

Now that a submission queue holds a reference to its completion queue, there is no need to pass the cq argument to nvmet_req_init(), so remove it. Signed-off-by: Wilfred Mallawa Reviewed-by: Chaitanya Kulkarni Reviewed-by: Damien Le Moal Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

nvmet: support completion queue sharing

2025-05-20T03:34:26+00:00

The NVMe PCI transport specification allows for completion queues to be shared by different submission queues. This patch allows a submission queue to keep track of the completion queue it is using with reference counting. As such, it can be ensured that a completion queue is not deleted while a submission queue is actively using it. This patch enables completion queue sharing in the pci-epf target driver. For fabrics drivers, completion queue sharing is not enabled as it is not possible as per the fabrics specification. However, this patch modifies the fabrics drivers to correctly integrate the new API that supports completion queue sharing.

-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end was introduced in GCC-14, and we are getting ready to enable it, globally. Move the conflicting declaration to the end of the structure. Notice that `struct nvme_loop_iod` is a flexible structure --a structure that contains a flexible-array member.

nvme-loop: flush off pending I/O while shutting down loop controller

2024-10-17T18:07:37+00:00

While shutting down loop controller, we first quiesce the admin/IO queue, delete the admin/IO tag-set and then at last destroy the admin/IO queue. However it's quite possible that during the window between quiescing and destroying of the admin/IO queue, some admin/IO request might sneak in and if that happens then we could potentially encounter a hung task because shutdown operation can't forward progress until any pending I/O is flushed off. This commit helps ensure that before destroying the admin/IO queue, we unquiesce the admin/IO queue so that any outstanding requests, which are added after the admin/IO queue is quiesced, are now flushed to its completion.
