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

PNP: Fix ISAPNP to generate uevents to auto-load modules

2025-11-18T16:35:36+00:00

Currently ISAPNP devices do not generate an uevent for udev to auto-load the driver modules for Creative SoundBlaster or Gravis UltraSound to just work.

driver core: have match() callback in struct bus_type take a const *

2024-07-03T13:16:54+00:00

In the match() callback, the struct device_driver * should not be changed, so change the function callback to be a const *. This is one step of many towards making the driver core safe to have struct device_driver in read-only memory. Because the match() callback is in all busses, all busses are modified to handle this properly. This does entail switching some container_of() calls to container_of_const() to properly handle the constant *. For some busses, like PCI and USB and HV, the const * is cast away in the match callback as those busses do want to modify those structures at this point in time (they have a local lock in the driver structure.) That will have to be changed in the future if they wish to have their struct device * in read-only-memory. Cc: Rafael J.

PNP: Make dev_is_pnp() to be a function and export it for modules

2024-05-28T19:53:51+00:00

Since we have a dev_is_pnp() macro that utilises the address of the pnp_bus_type variable, the users, which can be compiled as modules, will fail to build. Convert the macro to be a function and export it to the modules to prevent build breakage.

Now that the driver core can properly handle constant struct bus_type, move the pnp_bus_type variable to be a constant structure as well, placing it into read-only memory which can not be modified at runtime. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

PNP: Do not disable devices on suspend when they cannot be re-enabled on resume

2022-11-25T18:36:52+00:00

On an Advantech MICA-071 tablet, with a builtin barcode scanner connected to ttyS0, the following message is shown on suspend: serial 00:02: disabled And after suspend/resume trying to use the barcode scanner / ttyS0 shows: serial 00:02: LSR safety check engaged! Indicating that the UARTs io-ports are no longer reachable. This is caused by __pnp_bus_suspend() calling pnp_stop_dev() on the "00:02" pnp device on suspend (this outputs the disabled message). The problem is that pnp_can_write() returns false for the "00:02" pnp device, so after disabling it (disabling its decoding of IO addresses) during suspend, it cannot be re-enabled. Add a pnp_can_write() check to the suspend path and only disable devices which can actually be re-enabled on resume. This fixes the Advantech MICA-071's ttyS0 no longer working after a suspend/resume. Signed-off-by: Hans de Goede Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

PM: sleep: Add device name to suspend_report_result()

2022-03-08T18:57:01+00:00

Currently, suspend_report_result() prints only function information. If any driver uses a common PM function, nobody knows who exactly called the failing function. A device pinter is needed to recognize the failing device. For example: PM: dpm_run_callback(): pnp_bus_suspend+0x0/0x10 returns 0 PM: dpm_run_callback(): pci_pm_suspend+0x0/0x150 returns 0 become after the change: serial 00:05: PM: dpm_run_callback(): pnp_bus_suspend+0x0/0x10 returns 0 pci 0000:00:01.3: PM: dpm_run_callback(): pci_pm_suspend+0x0/0x150 returns 0 Signed-off-by: Youngjin Jang [ rjw: Changelog edits ] Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

bus: Make remove callback return void

2021-07-21T09:53:42+00:00

The driver core ignores the return value of this callback because there is only little it can do when a device disappears. This is the final bit of a long lasting cleanup quest where several buses were converted to also return void from their remove callback. Additionally some resource leaks were fixed that were caused by drivers returning an error code in the expectation that the driver won't go away. With struct bus_type::remove returning void it's prevented that newly implemented buses return an ignored error code and so don't anticipate wrong expectations for driver authors.
