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: 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: uvesafb: replace deprecated strncpy with strscpy_pad

2024-04-25T09:57:45+00:00

strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces. We expect v86d_path to be NUL-terminated based on its use with the C-string format specifier in printf-likes: | pr_err("failed to execute %s\n", v86d_path); and | return snprintf(buf, PAGE_SIZE, "%s\n", v86d_path); Let's also opt to pad v86d_path since it may get used in and around userspace: | return call_usermodehelper(v86d_path, argv, envp, UMH_WAIT_PROC); Considering the above, strscpy_pad() is the best replacement as it guarantees both NUL-termination and NUL-padding on the destination buffer. Note that this patch relies on the _new_ 2-argument versions of strscpy() and strscpy_pad() introduced in Commit e6584c3964f2f ("string: Allow 2-argument strscpy()").

fbdev: uvesafb: Convert sprintf/snprintf to sysfs_emit

2024-03-15T08:25:07+00:00

Per filesystems/sysfs.rst, show() should only use sysfs_emit() or sysfs_emit_at() when formatting the value to be returned to user space. coccinelle complains that there are still a couple of functions that use snprintf(). Convert them to sysfs_emit(). sprintf() will be converted as weel if they have.

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: uvesafb: 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
