Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using git grep -l '\

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

tty: ipwireless: fix missing checks for ioremap

2019-03-27T16:28:23+00:00

ipw->attr_memory and ipw->common_memory are assigned with the return value of ioremap. ioremap may fail, but no checks are enforced. The fix inserts the checks to avoid potential NULL pointer dereferences. Signed-off-by: Kangjie Lu Reviewed-by: David Sterba Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tty: add SPDX identifiers to all remaining files in drivers/tty/

2017-11-08T12:08:12+00:00

It's good to have SPDX identifiers in all files to make it easier to audit the kernel tree for correct licenses. Update the drivers/tty files files with the correct SPDX license identifier based on the license text in the file itself. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This work is based on a script and data from Thomas Gleixner, Philippe Ombredanne, and Kate Stewart.

tty: move ipwireless driver from drivers/char/pcmcia/ to drivers/tty/

As planned by Arnd Bergmann, this moves the ipwireless driver to the drivers/tty/ directory as that's where it really belongs. Cc: Arnd Bergmann Cc: Alan Cox Cc: Jiri Slaby Cc: David Sterba Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
