scsi: target: Use driver completion preference by default

2026-03-01T02:04:02+00:00

This has us use the driver's completion preference by default. There is no behavior changes with this patch and we queue completion to LIO's completion workqueue by default.

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

kernel.h: drop hex.h and update all hex.h users

2026-01-21T03:44:19+00:00

Remove from and update all users/callers of hex.h interfaces to directly #include as part of the process of putting kernel.h on a diet. Removing hex.h from kernel.h means that 36K C source files don't have to pay the price of parsing hex.h for the roughly 120 C source files that need it. This change has been build-tested with allmodconfig on most ARCHes. Also, all users/callers of in the entire source tree have been updated if needed (if not already #included).

scsi: target: Add WQ_PERCPU to alloc_workqueue() users

2025-11-13T02:28:27+00:00

Currently if a user enqueues a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND. This lack of consistency cannot be addressed without refactoring the API. alloc_workqueue() treats all queues as per-CPU by default, while unbound workqueues must opt-in via WQ_UNBOUND. This default is suboptimal: most workloads benefit from unbound queues, allowing the scheduler to place worker threads where they’re needed and reducing noise when CPUs are isolated. This continues the effort to refactor workqueue APIs, which began with the introduction of new workqueues and a new alloc_workqueue flag in: commit 128ea9f6ccfb ("workqueue: Add system_percpu_wq and system_dfl_wq") commit 930c2ea566af ("workqueue: Add new WQ_PERCPU flag") This change adds a new WQ_PERCPU flag to explicitly request alloc_workqueue() to be per-cpu when WQ_UNBOUND has not been specified. With the introduction of the WQ_PERCPU flag (equivalent to !WQ_UNBOUND), any alloc_workqueue() caller that doesn’t explicitly specify WQ_UNBOUND must now use WQ_PERCPU. Once migration is complete, WQ_UNBOUND can be removed and unbound will become the implicit default.

move asm/unaligned.h to linux/unaligned.h

asm/unaligned.h is always an include of asm-generic/unaligned.h; might as well move that thing to linux/unaligned.h and include that - there's nothing arch-specific in that header. auto-generated by the following: for i in `git grep -l -w asm/unaligned.h`; do sed -i -e "s/asm\/unaligned.h/linux\/unaligned.h/" $i done for i in `git grep -l -w asm-generic/unaligned.h`; do sed -i -e "s/asm-generic\/unaligned.h/linux\/unaligned.h/" $i done git mv include/asm-generic/unaligned.h include/linux/unaligned.h git mv tools/include/asm-generic/unaligned.h tools/include/linux/unaligned.h sed -i -e "/unaligned.h/d" include/asm-generic/Kbuild sed -i -e "s/__ASM_GENERIC/__LINUX/" include/linux/unaligned.h tools/include/linux/unaligned.h

scsi: target: Have drivers report if they support direct submissions

2023-10-13T19:53:57+00:00

In some cases, like with multiple LUN targets or where the target has to respond to transport level requests from the receiving context it can be better to defer cmd submission to a helper thread. If the backend driver blocks on something like request/tag allocation it can block the entire target submission path and other LUs and transport IO on that session. In other cases like single LUN targets with storage that can support all the commands that the target can queue, then it's best to submit the cmd to the backend from the target's cmd receiving context. Subsequent commits will allow the user to config what they prefer, but drivers like loop can't directly submit because they can be called from a context that can't sleep. And, drivers like vhost-scsi can support direct submission, but need to keep their default behavior of deferring execution to avoid possible regressions where the backend can block. Make the drivers tell LIO core if they support direct submissions and their current default, so we can prevent users from misconfiguring the system and initialize devices correctly.

scsi: target: core: Add gfp_t arg to target_cmd_init_cdb()

2021-03-04T22:37:02+00:00

tcm_loop could be used like a normal block device, so we can't use GFP_KERNEL and should use GFP_NOIO. This adds a gfp_t arg to target_cmd_init_cdb() and converts the users. For every driver but loop GFP_KERNEL is kept. This will also be useful in subsequent patches where loop needs to do target_submit_prep() from interrupt context to get a ref to the se_device, and so it will need to use GFP_ATOMIC.
