Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL arguments

2026-02-22T04:03:00+00:00

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split over multiple lines. I only did the ones that are easy to verify the resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next line. Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial. So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed' scripts. The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want whitespace cleanup anyway. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

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: use lock guard()s in tty_io

2025-04-25T11:46:31+00:00

guard()s and scoped_guard()s express more clearly what is protected by locks. And also makes the code cleaner as it can return immediately in case of short returns.

tty: tty_driver: document both {,__}tty_alloc_driver() properly

2025-03-20T15:00:51+00:00

__tty_alloc_driver()'s kernel-doc needed some care: describe the return value using the standard "Returns:", and use the new enum tty_driver_flag for @flags. Then, the tty_alloc_driver() macro was undocumented, but referenced many times in the docs. Copy the docs from the above (except the @owner parameter, obviously).

drivers: remove get_task_comm() and print task comm directly

2025-01-13T04:21:16+00:00

Since task->comm is guaranteed to be NUL-terminated, we can print it directly without the need to copy it into a separate buffer. This simplifies the code and avoids unnecessary operations.

tty: Make sysctl table const

2024-12-14T14:40:27+00:00

Since commit 7abc9b53bd51 ("sysctl: allow registration of const struct ctl_table"), the sysctl registration API allows for struct ctl_table to be in read-only memory. Move tty_table to be declared at build time, instead of having to be dynamically allocated at boot time. Cc: Thomas Weißschuh Suggested-by: Thomas Weißschuh Signed-off-by: Ricardo B.

tty: ldsic: fix tty_ldisc_autoload sysctl's proc_handler

2024-11-13T14:12:19+00:00

Commit 7c0cca7c847e ("tty: ldisc: add sysctl to prevent autoloading of ldiscs") introduces the tty_ldisc_autoload sysctl with the wrong proc_handler. .extra1 and .extra2 parameters are set to avoid other values thant SYSCTL_ZERO or SYSCTL_ONE to be set but proc_dointvec do not uses them. This commit fixes this by using proc_dointvec_minmax instead of proc_dointvec.

[tree-wide] finally take no_llseek out

2024-09-27T15:18:43+00:00

no_llseek had been defined to NULL two years ago, in commit 868941b14441 ("fs: remove no_llseek") To quote that commit, At -rc1 we'll need do a mechanical removal of no_llseek - git grep -l -w no_llseek | grep -v porting.rst | while read i; do sed -i '/\/d' $i done would do it. Unfortunately, that hadn't been done. Linus, could you do that now, so that we could finally put that thing to rest? All instances are of the form .llseek = no_llseek, so it's obviously safe.
