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

fs: add setlease to generic_ro_fops and read-only filesystem directory operations

2026-01-12T09:55:45+00:00

Add the setlease file_operation to generic_ro_fops, which covers file operations for several read-only filesystems (BEFS, EFS, ISOFS, QNX4, QNX6, CRAMFS, FREEVXFS). Also add setlease to the directory file_operations for these filesystems. A future patch will change the default behavior to reject lease attempts with -EINVAL when there is no setlease file operation defined. Add generic_setlease to retain the ability to set leases on these filesystems.

Coccinelle-based conversion to use ->i_state accessors

2025-10-20T18:22:26+00:00

All places were patched by coccinelle with the default expecting that ->i_lock is held, afterwards entries got fixed up by hand to use unlocked variants as needed.

efs: Convert efs_symlink_read_folio to use a folio

2024-05-31T10:31:39+00:00

Remove the conversion back into a page and use the folio APIs throughout. Remove the setting of PG_error instead of converting it; it is unused by core code or by the rest of EFS, so it serves no purpose here.

efs: remove SLAB_MEM_SPREAD flag usage

2024-02-27T10:21:33+00:00

The SLAB_MEM_SPREAD flag used to be implemented in SLAB, which was removed as of v6.8-rc1 (see [1]), 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 explicitly to avoid confusion for users. Here we can just remove all its users, which has no any functional change.
