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.

drivers: hv: vmbus: replace deprecated mmap hook with mmap_prepare

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

The f_op->mmap interface is deprecated, so update the vmbus driver to use its successor, mmap_prepare. This updates all callbacks which referenced the function pointer hv_mmap_ring_buffer to instead reference hv_mmap_prepare_ring_buffer, utilising the newly introduced compat_set_desc_from_vma() and __compat_vma_mmap() to be able to implement this change. The UIO HV generic driver is the only user of hv_create_ring_sysfs(), which is the only function which references vmbus_channel->mmap_prepare_ring_buffer which, in turn, is the only external interface to hv_mmap_prepare_ring_buffer. This patch therefore updates this caller to use mmap_prepare instead, which also previously used vm_iomap_memory(), so this change replaces it with its mmap_prepare equivalent, mmap_action_simple_ioremap().

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: pci_sva: correct '-ENODEV' check logic

2026-01-16T15:43:43+00:00

The current '-ENODEV' check uses '&&', which can lead to a NULL pointer dereference when udev is NULL. Fix the condition to return -ENODEV if either udev or its pdev is NULL.

uio: Add SVA support for PCI devices via uio_pci_generic_sva.c

2025-11-26T14:10:39+00:00

This patch introduces a new UIO driver, uio_pci_generic_sva, which extends the functionality of uio_pci_generic by adding support for Shared Virtual Addressing (SVA) when IOMMU is enabled in the system. The key enhancement allows PCI devices to directly use user-space virtual addresses for DMA operations, eliminating the need for bounce buffers or explicit IOVA mapping. This is achieved by leveraging the kernel's IOMMU-SVA subsystem, including process address space attachment, page fault handling, and shared context management between CPU and device. With this driver, userspace applications can perform zero-copy DMA using native pointers: void *addr = malloc(N); set_dma_addr((uint64_t)addr); // Passing user VA directly start_dma(); The device can now access 'addr' through the IOMMU's PASID-based translation, provided that the underlying IOMMU hardware (e.g., Intel VT-d 3.1+, AMD-Vi, ARM SMMU, RISCV IOMMU) and platform support SVA. Dependencies: - CONFIG_IOMMU_SVA must be enabled. - The platform must support PRI (Page Request Interface) and PASID. - Device drivers/userspace must handle page faults if demand-paging is used. The implementation reuses core logic from uio_pci_generic.c while adding PASID setting, and integration with the IOMMU SVA APIs. Also, add a read-only sysfs attribute 'pasid' to expose the Process Address Space ID assigned by IOMMU driver when binding an SVA-enabled device. For details, refer to the ABI documentation for uio_pci_sva driver sysfs attribute (Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-driver-uio_pci_sva-pasid).

Drivers: hv: Add CONFIG_HYPERV_VMBUS option

2025-10-01T00:00:42+00:00

At present VMBus driver is hinged off of CONFIG_HYPERV which entails lot of builtin code and encompasses too much. It's not always clear what depends on builtin hv code and what depends on VMBus. Setting CONFIG_HYPERV as a module and fudging the Makefile to switch to builtin adds even more confusion. VMBus is an independent module and should have its own config option. Also, there are scenarios like baremetal dom0/root where support is built in with CONFIG_HYPERV but without VMBus. Lastly, there are more features coming down that use CONFIG_HYPERV and add more dependencies on it. So, create a fine grained HYPERV_VMBUS option and update Kconfigs for dependency on VMBus.
