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: make tty_operations::write()'s count size_t

Unify with the rest of the code. Use size_t for counts and ssize_t for retval. Signed-off-by: "Jiri Slaby (SUSE)" Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230810091510.13006-30-jirislaby@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tty: propagate u8 data to tty_operations::write()

tty: drop put_tty_driver

2021-07-27T10:17:21+00:00

put_tty_driver() is an alias for tty_driver_kref_put(). There is no need for two exported identical functions, therefore switch all users of old put_tty_driver() to new tty_driver_kref_put() and remove the former for good.

tty: stop using alloc_tty_driver

2021-07-27T10:17:20+00:00

alloc_tty_driver was deprecated by tty_alloc_driver in commit 7f0bc6a68ed9 (TTY: pass flags to alloc_tty_driver) in 2012. I never got into eliminating alloc_tty_driver until now. So we still have two functions for allocating drivers which might be confusing. So get rid of alloc_tty_driver uses to eliminate it for good in the next patch. Note we need to switch return value checking as tty_alloc_driver uses ERR_PTR. And flags are now a parameter of tty_alloc_driver.

tty_operations::chars_in_buffer is another hook which is expected to return values >= 0. So make it explicit by the return type too -- use unsigned int.

Line disciplines expect a positive value or zero returned from tty->ops->write_room (invoked by tty_write_room). So make this assumption explicit by using unsigned int as a return value. Both of tty->ops->write_room and tty_write_room.
