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

nvmem: Simplify with scoped for each OF child loop

nvmem: Drop OF node reference on nvmem_add_one_cell() failure

2026-01-26T15:40:33+00:00

If nvmem_add_one_cell() failed, the ownership of "child" (or "info.np"), thus its OF reference, is not passed further and function should clean up by putting the reference it got via earlier of_node_get(). Note that this is independent of references obtained via for_each_child_of_node() loop.

nvmem: make nvmem_bus_type constant

2025-07-16T12:30:05+00:00

Now that the driver core can properly handle constant struct bus_type, move the nvmem_bus_type variable to be a constant structure as well, placing it into read-only memory which can not be modified at runtime.

nvmem: Remove unused nvmem cell table support

2025-05-21T12:28:27+00:00

Board files are deprecated by DT, and the last user of nvmem_add_cell_table() was removed by commit 2af4fcc0d3574482 ("ARM: davinci: remove unused board support") in v6.3. Hence remove all support for nvmem cell tables, and update the documentation. Device drivers can still register a single cell using nvmem_add_one_cell() (which was not documented before).
