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

new helper: set_default_d_op()

... to be used instead of manually assigning to ->s_d_op. All in-tree filesystem converted (and field itself is renamed, so any out-of-tree ones in need of conversion will be caught by compiler). Reviewed-by: Christian Brauner Signed-off-by: Al Viro

affs: convert affs to use the new mount api

Convert the affs filesystem to use the new mount API. Tested by comparing random mount & remount options before and after the change.

affs: remove SLAB_MEM_SPREAD flag usage

2024-02-26T10:36:28+00:00

The SLAB_MEM_SPREAD flag used to be implemented in SLAB, which was removed as of v6.8-rc1, so it became a dead flag since the commit 16a1d968358a ("mm/slab: remove mm/slab.c and slab_def.h"). And the series[1] went on to mark it obsolete to avoid confusion for users. Here we can just remove all its users, which has no functional change.

affs: move from strlcpy with unused retval to strscpy

Follow the advice of the below link and prefer 'strscpy' in this subsystem. Conversion is 1:1 because the return value is not used. Generated by a coccinelle script.

fs: allocate inode by using alloc_inode_sb()

2022-03-22T22:57:03+00:00

The inode allocation is supposed to use alloc_inode_sb(), so convert kmem_cache_alloc() of all filesystems to alloc_inode_sb().
