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

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: smscufx: properly copy ioctl memory to kernelspace

2026-02-14T10:07:12+00:00

The UFX_IOCTL_REPORT_DAMAGE ioctl does not properly copy data from userspace to kernelspace, and instead directly references the memory, which can cause problems if invalid data is passed from userspace. Fix this all up by correctly copying the memory before accessing it within the kernel.

fbdev: smscufx: Make I2C terminology more inclusive

2024-07-11T10:07:48+00:00

I2C v7, SMBus 3.2, and I3C 1.1.1 specifications have replaced "master/slave" with more appropriate terms. Inspired by Wolfram's series to fix drivers/i2c/, fix the terminology for users of I2C_ALGOBIT bitbanging interface, now that the approved verbiage exists in the specification.

fbdev: Push pgprot_decrypted() into mmap implementations

2023-11-29T11:20:44+00:00

If a driver sets struct fb_ops.fb_mmap, the fbdev core automatically calls pgprot_decrypted(). But the default fb_mmap code doesn't handle pgprot_decrypted(). Move the call to pgprot_decrypted() into each drivers' fb_mmap function. This only concerns fb_mmap functions for system and DMA memory. For I/O memory, which is the default case, nothing changes. The fb_mmap for I/O-memory can later be moved into a helper as well. DRM's fbdev emulation handles pgprot_decrypted() internally via the Prime helpers. Fbdev doesn't have to do anything in this case. In cases where DRM uses deferred I/O, this patch updates fb_mmap correctly.

fbdev: Remove FBINFO_DEFAULT from framebuffer_alloc()'ed structs

2023-07-24T14:50:38+00:00

The flag FBINFO_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: Helge Deller Cc: Nicolas Ferre Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Cc: Ferenc Bakonyi Cc: "K.

fbdev/smscufx: Use struct fb_info.screen_buffer

2023-05-08T13:28:33+00:00

Use info->screen_buffer when reading and writing framebuffers in system memory. It's the correct pointer for this address space. The struct fb_info has a union to store the framebuffer memory. This can either be info->screen_base if the framebuffer is stored in I/O memory, or info->screen_buffer if the framebuffer is stored in system memory. As the driver operates on the latter address space, it is wrong to use .screen_base and .screen_buffer must be used instead.
