pcmcia: remove obsolete host controller drivers

2026-03-30T05:28:13+00:00

PCMCIA is almost completely obsolete (the last computers supporting it natively were from ~2009), and the general consensus [1] seems to be that support for it should be gradually removed from the kernel. In 2023, an initial step of removing all the PCMCIA char drivers was taken in commit 9b12f050c76f ("char: pcmcia: remove all the drivers"), and that has not been reverted, so it seems logical to continue this process by removing more low-hanging fruit. These host controller drivers have had no meaningful changes since their status was discussed in 2022 [2], and are unlikely to have any remaining users. Remove them and a couple references to them in comments. The i82365 and tcic drivers are for ISA-attached host controllers, which are even less likely to be used nowadays than ones on other buses. The i82092 driver has almost certainly not been used in over 20 years. It was broken by a null pointer dereference since the dawn of Git history (2.6.12-rc2 in 2005) until someone fixed it in 2021 in commit e39cdacf2f66 ("pcmcia: i82092: fix a null pointer dereference bug"). From their dmesg log [3], it is clear they were testing in an emulated environment and not on real hardware. i82365.h is used by drivers other than i82365 and is therefore retained.

pcmcia: Convert to use less arguments in pci_bus_for_each_resource()

2026-03-30T05:28:13+00:00

The pci_bus_for_each_resource() can hide the iterator loop since it may be not used otherwise. With this, we may drop that iterator variable definition. Reviewed-by: Krzysztof Wilczyński Signed-off-by: Andy Shevchenko Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski

PCMCIA: Fix garbled log messages for KERN_CONT

2026-03-30T05:28:13+00:00

For years the PCMCIA info messages are messed up by superfluous newlines. While f2e6cf76751d ("pcmcia: Convert dev_printk to dev_") converted the code to pr_cont(), dev_info enforces a \n via vprintk_store setting LOG_NEWLINE, breaking subsequent pr_cont. Fix by logging the device name manually to allow pr_cont to work for more readable and not \n distorted logs.

resource: Pass full extent of empty space to resource_alignf callback

2026-03-27T15:18:39+00:00

__find_resource_space() calculates the full extent of empty space but only passes the aligned space to resource_alignf callback. In some situations, the callback may choose take advantage of the free space before the requested alignment. Pass the full extent of the calculated empty space to resource_alignf callback as an additional parameter.

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

PCI: Separate CardBus setup & build it only with CONFIG_CARDBUS

2026-01-27T22:36:52+00:00

PCI bridge window setup code includes special code to handle CardBus bridges. CardBus has long since fallen out of favor and modern systems have no use for it. Move CardBus setup code to its own file and use existing CONFIG_CARDBUS to decide whether it should be built or not.

pcmcia: Add error handling for add_interval() in do_validate_mem()

2025-08-16T13:49:58+00:00

In the do_validate_mem(), the call to add_interval() does not handle errors. If kmalloc() fails in add_interval(), it could result in a null pointer being inserted into the linked list, leading to illegal memory access when sub_interval() is called next. This patch adds an error handling for the add_interval(). If add_interval() returns an error, the function will return early with the error code.
