Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using git grep -l '\

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

treewide: rename GPIO set callbacks back to their original names

2025-08-07T08:07:06+00:00

The conversion of all GPIO drivers to using the .set_rv() and .set_multiple_rv() callbacks from struct gpio_chip (which - unlike their predecessors - return an integer and allow the controller drivers to indicate failures to users) is now complete and the legacy ones have been removed. Rename the new callbacks back to their original names in one sweeping change. Signed-off-by: Bartosz Golaszewski

fbdev: via: use new GPIO line value setter callbacks

struct gpio_chip now has callbacks for setting line values that return an integer, allowing to indicate failures. Convert the driver to using them. Signed-off-by: Bartosz Golaszewski Reviewed-by: Linus Walleij Signed-off-by: Helge Deller

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: viafb: 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.
