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

fbdev: sm501fb: Add some geometry checks.

2025-03-26T21:39:21+00:00

Added checks for xoffset, yoffset settings. Incorrect settings of these parameters can lead to errors in sm501fb_pan_ functions. Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

fbdev: Switch back to struct platform_driver::remove()

2024-10-08T19:47:18+00:00

After commit 0edb555a65d1 ("platform: Make platform_driver::remove() return void") .remove() is (again) the right callback to implement for platform drivers. Convert all platform drivers below drivers/video/fbdev to use .remove(), with the eventual goal to drop struct platform_driver::remove_new(). As .remove() and .remove_new() have the same prototypes, conversion is done by just changing the structure member name in the driver initializer. While touching these files, make indention of the struct initializer consistent in several files. Signed-off-by: Uwe Kleine-König Reviewed-by: Thomas Zimmermann Signed-off-by: Helge Deller

fbdev/sm501fb: Initialize fb_ops to fbdev I/O-memory helpers

2023-10-19T10:56:43+00:00

Initialize each instance of struct fb_ops with fbdev initializer macros for framebuffers in I/O address space. Set the read/write, draw and mmap callbacks to the correct implementation and avoid implicit defaults. Also select the necessary I/O helpers in Kconfig. Fbdev drivers sometimes rely on the callbacks being NULL for a default implementation to be invoked; hence requiring the I/O helpers to be built in any case. Setting all callbacks in all drivers explicitly will allow to make the I/O helpers optional. This benefits systems that do not use these functions. No functional changes.

fbdev: Remove FBINFO_FLAG_DEFAULT from framebuffer_alloc()'ed structs

2023-07-24T14:50:39+00:00

The flag FBINFO_FLAG_DEFAULT is 0 and has no effect, as struct fbinfo.flags has been allocated to zero by framebuffer_alloc(). So do not set it. Flags should signal differences from the default values. After cleaning up all occurrences of FBINFO_DEFAULT, the token will be removed. v4: * clarify commit message (Geert, Dan) v2: * fix commit message (Miguel) Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann Acked-by: Sam Ravnborg Cc: Jaya Kumar Cc: Helge Deller Cc: Peter Jones Cc: Sascha Hauer Cc: Pengutronix Kernel Team Cc: Shawn Guo Cc: Fabio Estevam Cc: NXP Linux Team Cc: Maik Broemme Cc: Jingoo Han Cc: Sudip Mukherjee Cc: Teddy Wang Cc: Michal Januszewski Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20230715185343.7193-15-tzimmermann@suse.de

fbdev: sm501fb: Convert to platform remove callback returning void

2023-04-24T09:48:32+00:00

The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by returning an error code. However the value returned is (mostly) ignored and this typically results in resource leaks. To improve here there is a quest to make the remove callback return void. In the first step of this quest all drivers are converted to .remove_new() which already returns void. Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove callback to the void returning variant. Signed-off-by: Uwe Kleine-König Signed-off-by: Helge Deller

fbdev: Use of_property_read_bool() for boolean properties

2023-03-14T17:49:39+00:00

It is preferred to use typed property access functions (i.e. of_property_read_ functions) rather than low-level of_get_property/of_find_property functions for reading properties. Convert reading boolean properties to to of_property_read_bool(). Signed-off-by: Rob Herring Signed-off-by: Helge Deller
