uio: replace deprecated mmap hook with mmap_prepare in uio_info

2026-04-05T20:53:44+00:00

The f_op->mmap interface is deprecated, so update uio_info to use its successor, mmap_prepare. Therefore, replace the uio_info->mmap hook with a new uio_info->mmap_prepare hook, and update its one user, target_core_user, to both specify this new mmap_prepare hook and also to use the new vm_ops->mapped() hook to continue to maintain a correct udev->kref refcount. Then update uio_mmap() to utilise the mmap_prepare compatibility layer to invoke this callback from the uio mmap invocation.

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

uio: Constify struct kobj_type

2024-09-11T14:02:54+00:00

These 'struct kobj_type' are not modified. They are only used in kobject_init() which takes a 'const struct kobj_type *ktype' parameter. Constifying these structure and moving them to a read-only section (from data to text), and can increase over all security. ``` [Before] text data bss dec hex filename 10330 1908 20 12258 2fe2 drivers/uio/uio.o [After] text data bss dec hex filename 10458 1844 20 12322 3022 drivers/uio/uio.o ``` Signed-off-by: Hongbo Li Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240904012200.2010916-1-lihongbo22@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Fix build errors due to new UIO_MEM_DMA_COHERENT mess

2024-03-27T16:48:47+00:00

Commit 576882ef5e7f ("uio: introduce UIO_MEM_DMA_COHERENT type") introduced a new use-case for 'struct uio_mem' where the 'mem' field now contains a kernel virtual address when 'memtype' is set to UIO_MEM_DMA_COHERENT. That in turn causes build errors, because 'mem' is of type 'phys_addr_t', and a virtual address is a pointer type. When the code just blindly uses cast to mix the two, it caused problems when phys_addr_t isn't the same size as a pointer - notably on 32-bit architectures with PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT. The proper thing to do would probably be to use a union member, and not have any casts, and make the 'mem' member be a union of 'mem.physaddr' and 'mem.vaddr', based on 'memtype'. This is not that proper thing. This is just fixing the ugly casts to be even uglier, but at least not cause build errors on 32-bit platforms with 64-bit physical addresses.
