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

mm: remove callers of pfn_t functionality

2025-07-10T05:42:19+00:00

All PFN_* pfn_t flags have been removed. Therefore there is no longer a need for the pfn_t type and all uses can be replaced with normal pfns.

fs/dax: create a common implementation to break DAX layouts

2025-03-18T05:06:37+00:00

Prior to freeing a block file systems supporting FS DAX must check that the associated pages are both unmapped from user-space and not undergoing DMA or other access from eg. get_user_pages(). This is achieved by unmapping the file range and scanning the FS DAX page-cache to see if any pages within the mapping have an elevated refcount. This is done using two functions - dax_layout_busy_page_range() which returns a page to wait for the refcount to become idle on. Rather than open-code this introduce a common implementation to both unmap and wait for the page to become idle.

fs/dax: refactor wait for dax idle page

2025-03-18T05:06:37+00:00

A FS DAX page is considered idle when its refcount drops to one. This is currently open-coded in all file systems supporting FS DAX. Move the idle detection to a common function to make future changes easier.

fuse: fix dax truncate/punch_hole fault path

2025-03-18T05:06:36+00:00

Patch series "fs/dax: Fix ZONE_DEVICE page reference counts", v9. Device and FS DAX pages have always maintained their own page reference counts without following the normal rules for page reference counting. In particular pages are considered free when the refcount hits one rather than zero and refcounts are not added when mapping the page. Tracking this requires special PTE bits (PTE_DEVMAP) and a secondary mechanism for allowing GUP to hold references on the page (see get_dev_pagemap). However there doesn't seem to be any reason why FS DAX pages need their own reference counting scheme. By treating the refcounts on these pages the same way as normal pages we can remove a lot of special checks. In particular pXd_trans_huge() becomes the same as pXd_leaf(), although I haven't made that change here. It also frees up a valuable SW define PTE bit on architectures that have devmap PTE bits defined. It also almost certainly allows further clean-up of the devmap managed functions, but I have left that as a future improvment. It also enables support for compound ZONE_DEVICE pages which is one of my primary motivators for doing this work. This patch (of 20): FS DAX requires file systems to call into the DAX layout prior to unlinking inodes to ensure there is no ongoing DMA or other remote access to the direct mapped page. The fuse file system implements fuse_dax_break_layouts() to do this which includes a comment indicating that passing dmap_end == 0 leads to unmapping of the whole file. However this is not true - passing dmap_end == 0 will not unmap anything before dmap_start, and further more dax_layout_busy_page_range() will not scan any of the range to see if there maybe ongoing DMA access to the range. Fix this by passing -1 for dmap_end to fuse_dax_break_layouts() which will invalidate the entire file range to dax_layout_busy_page_range().

fuse: make args->in_args[0] to be always the header

2025-01-24T10:54:02+00:00

This change sets up FUSE operations to always have headers in args.in_args[0], even for opcodes without an actual header. This step prepares for a clean separation of payload from headers, initially it is used by fuse-over-io-uring. For opcodes without a header, we use a zero-sized struct as a placeholder. This approach: - Keeps things consistent across all FUSE operations - Will help with payload alignment later - Avoids future issues when header sizes change Op codes that already have an op code specific header do not need modification. Op codes that have neither payload nor op code headers are not modified either (FUSE_READLINK and FUSE_DESTROY). FUSE_BATCH_FORGET already has the header in the right place, but is not using fuse_copy_args - as -over-uring is currently not handling forgets it does not matter for now, but header separation will later need special attention for that op code. Correct the struct fuse_args->in_args array max size. Signed-off-by: Bernd Schubert Reviewed-by: Joanne Koong Reviewed-by: Luis Henriques Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi

virtiofs: dax: remove ->writepages() callback

2024-11-18T11:24:38+00:00

When using FUSE DAX with virtiofs, cache coherency is managed by the host. Disk persistence is handled via fsync() and friends, which are passed directly via the FUSE layer to the host. Therefore, there's no need to do dax_writeback_mapping_range(). All that ends up doing is a cache flush operation, which is not caught by KVM and doesn't do much, since the host and guest are already cache-coherent. Since dax_writeback_mapping_range() checks that the inode block size is equal to PAGE_SIZE, this fixes a spurious WARN when virtiofs is used with a mismatched guest PAGE_SIZE and virtiofs backing FS block size (this happens, for example, when it's a tmpfs and the host and guest have a different PAGE_SIZE). FUSE DAX does not require any particular FS block size, since it always performs DAX mappings in aligned 2MiB blocks. See discussion in [1].

fuse: dax: set fc->dax to NULL in fuse_dax_conn_free()

2023-12-04T09:16:53+00:00

fuse_dax_conn_free() will be called when fuse_fill_super_common() fails after fuse_dax_conn_alloc(). Then deactivate_locked_super() in virtio_fs_get_tree() will call virtio_kill_sb() to release the discarded superblock. This will call fuse_dax_conn_free() again in fuse_conn_put(), resulting in a possible double free.

mm: remove enum page_entry_size

2023-08-24T23:20:30+00:00

Remove the unnecessary encoding of page order into an enum and pass the page order directly. That lets us get rid of pe_order(). The switch constructs have to be changed to if/else constructs to prevent GCC from warning on builds with 3-level page tables where PMD_ORDER and PUD_ORDER have the same value. If you are looking at this commit because your driver stopped compiling, look at the previous commit as well and audit your driver to be sure it doesn't depend on mmap_lock being held in its ->huge_fault method.
