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

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

2023-08-11T19:12:46+00:00

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: rpmsg: Fix race condition releasing tty port

2022-01-26T13:50:26+00:00

The tty_port struct is part of the rpmsg_tty_port structure. The issue is that the rpmsg_tty_port structure is freed on rpmsg_tty_remove while it is still referenced in the tty_struct. Its release is not predictable due to workqueues. For instance following ftrace shows that rpmsg_tty_close is called after rpmsg_tty_release_cport: nr_test.sh-389 [000] ..... 212.093752: rpmsg_tty_remove <-rpmsg_dev_ remove cat-1191 [001] ..... 212.095697: tty_release <-__fput nr_test.sh-389 [000] ..... 212.099166: rpmsg_tty_release_cport <-rpm sg_tty_remove cat-1191 [001] ..... 212.115352: rpmsg_tty_close <-tty_release cat-1191 [001] ..... 212.115371: release_tty <-tty_release_str As consequence, the port must be free only when user has released the TTY interface. This path : - Introduce the .destruct port tty ops function to release the allocated rpmsg_tty_port structure. - Introduce the .hangup tty ops function to call tty_port_hangup. - Manages the tty port refcounting to trig the .destruct port ops, - Introduces the rpmsg_tty_cleanup function to ensure that the TTY is removed before decreasing the port refcount.

tty: rpmsg: Define tty name via constant string literal

Driver uses already twice the same string literal. Define it in one place, so every user will have this name consistent. Signed-off-by: Andy Shevchenko Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211025135148.53944-5-andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Instead of putting garbage in the data structure, assign allocated id or an error code to a temporary variable. This makes code cleaner. Signed-off-by: Andy Shevchenko Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211025135148.53944-1-andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tty: add rpmsg driver

2021-10-21T10:35:35+00:00

This driver exposes a standard TTY interface on top of the rpmsg framework through a rpmsg service. This driver supports multi-instances, offering a /dev/ttyRPMSGx entry per rpmsg endpoint.
