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

ext2: Deprecate DAX

2025-04-29T11:08:20+00:00

Since PMEM didn't quite lift off, DAX isn't as widely used as we originally hoped. Thus it doesn't seem warranted to support implementation of DAX in ext2 driver when the same filesystem can be accessed through ext4 driver as a "simple implementation". Just deprecate DAX support in ext2 targetting completely dropping the code at the end of 2025.

ext2: create ext2_msg_fc for use during parsing

2025-02-24T16:03:25+00:00

Rather than send a NULL sb to ext2_msg, which omits the s_id from messages, create a new ext2_msg_fc which is able to provide this information from the filesystem context *fc when parsing.

ext2: convert to the new mount API

2025-02-24T16:02:37+00:00

Convert ext2 to the new mount API. Note that this makes the sb= option more accepting than it was before; previosly, sb= was only accepted if it was the first specified option. Now it can exist anywhere, and if respecified, the last specified value is used. Parse-time messages here are sent to ext2_msg with a NULL sb, and ext2_msg is adjusted to accept that, as ext4 does today as well.

mm, slab: remove last vestiges of SLAB_MEM_SPREAD

2024-03-13T03:32:19+00:00

Yes, yes, I know the slab people were planning on going slow and letting every subsystem fight this thing on their own. But let's just rip off the band-aid and get it over and done with. I don't want to see a number of unnecessary pull requests just to get rid of a flag that no longer has any meaning. This was mainly done with a couple of 'sed' scripts and then some manual cleanup of the end result.
