Linux kernel stable tree (mirror) https://git.radix-linux.su/kernel/linux.git/atom?h=linux-7.1.y 2026-02-22T01:09:51+00:00 2026-02-22T01:09:51+00:00 Linus Torvalds torvalds@linux-foundation.org 2026-02-22T00:37:42+00:00 urn:sha1:bf4afc53b77aeaa48b5409da5c8da6bb4eff7f43 This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' | xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/' to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL argument to just drop that argument. Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered: they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically. For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate conversion.

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 *".

This allows constification of many structures which hold some function pointers.

The simple*buffer() methods update the file offset (*ppos) but the read and write iterators not yet. Make the read and write iterators update the file offset (iocb->ki_pos).
