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

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains a mix of VFS cleanups, performance improvements, API fixes, documentation, and a deprecation notice. Scalability and performance: - Rework pid allocation to only take pidmap_lock once instead of twice during alloc_pid(), improving thread creation/teardown throughput by 10-16% depending on false-sharing luck. Pad the namespace refcount to reduce false-sharing - Track file lock presence via a flag in ->i_opflags instead of reading ->i_flctx, avoiding false-sharing with ->i_readcount on open/close hot paths. Measured 4-16% improvement on 24-core open-in-a-loop benchmarks - Use a consume fence in locks_inode_context() to match the store-release/load-consume idiom, eliminating a hardware fence on some architectures - Annotate cdev_lock with __cacheline_aligned_in_smp to prevent false-sharing - Remove a redundant DCACHE_MANAGED_DENTRY check in __follow_mount_rcu() that never fires since the caller already verifies it, eliminating a 100% mispredicted branch - Fix a 100% mispredicted likely() in devcgroup_inode_permission() that became wrong after a prior code reorder Bug fixes and correctness: - Make insert_inode_locked() wait for inode destruction instead of skipping, fixing a corner case where two matching inodes could exist in the hash - Move f_mode initialization before file_ref_init() in alloc_file() to respect the SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU ordering contract - Add a WARN_ON_ONCE guard in try_to_free_buffers() for folios with no buffers attached, preventing a null pointer dereference when AS_RELEASE_ALWAYS is set but no release_folio op exists - Fix select restart_block to store end_time as timespec64, avoiding truncation of tv_sec on 32-bit architectures - Make dump_inode() use get_kernel_nofault() to safely access inode and superblock fields, matching the dump_mapping() pattern API modernization: - Make posix_acl_to_xattr() allocate the buffer internally since every single caller was doing it anyway. Reduces boilerplate and unnecessary error checking across ~15 filesystems - Replace deprecated simple_strtoul() with kstrtoul() for the ihash_entries, dhash_entries, mhash_entries, and mphash_entries boot parameters, adding proper error handling - Convert chardev code to use guard(mutex) and __free(kfree) cleanup patterns - Replace min_t() with min() or umin() in VFS code to avoid silently truncating unsigned long to unsigned int - Gate LOOKUP_RCU assertions behind CONFIG_DEBUG_VFS since callers already check the flag Deprecation: - Begin deprecating legacy BSD process accounting (acct(2)). The interface has numerous footguns and better alternatives exist (eBPF) Documentation: - Fix and complete kernel-doc for struct export_operations, removing duplicated documentation between ReST and source - Fix kernel-doc warnings for __start_dirop() and ilookup5_nowait() Testing: - Add a kunit test for initramfs cpio handling of entries with filesize > PATH_MAX Misc: - Add missing include in fs_struct.c" * tag 'vfs-7.0-rc1.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (28 commits) posix_acl: make posix_acl_to_xattr() alloc the buffer fs: make insert_inode_locked() wait for inode destruction initramfs_test: kunit test for cpio.filesize > PATH_MAX fs: improve dump_inode() to safely access inode fields fs: add for 'init_fs' docs: exportfs: Use source code struct documentation fs: move initializing f_mode before file_ref_init() exportfs: Complete kernel-doc for struct export_operations exportfs: Mark struct export_operations functions at kernel-doc exportfs: Fix kernel-doc output for get_name() acct(2): begin the deprecation of legacy BSD process accounting device_cgroup: remove branch hint after code refactor VFS: fix __start_dirop() kernel-doc warnings fs: Describe @isnew parameter in ilookup5_nowait() fs/namei: Remove redundant DCACHE_MANAGED_DENTRY check in __follow_mount_rcu fs: only assert on LOOKUP_RCU when built with CONFIG_DEBUG_VFS select: store end_time as timespec64 in restart block chardev: Switch to guard(mutex) and __free(kfree) namespace: Replace simple_strtoul with kstrtoul to parse boot params dcache: Replace simple_strtoul with kstrtoul in set_dhash_entries ...

jfs: avoid -Wtautological-constant-out-of-range-compare warning

2026-02-02T20:47:12+00:00

A recent change for the range check started triggering a clang warning: fs/jfs/jfs_dtree.c:2906:31: error: result of comparison of constant 128 with expression of type 's8' (aka 'signed char') is always false [-Werror,-Wtautological-constant-out-of-range-compare] 2906 | if (stbl[i] < 0 || stbl[i] >= DTPAGEMAXSLOT) { | ~~~~~~~ ^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ fs/jfs/jfs_dtree.c:3111:30: error: result of comparison of constant 128 with expression of type 's8' (aka 'signed char') is always false [-Werror,-Wtautological-constant-out-of-range-compare] 3111 | if (stbl[0] < 0 || stbl[0] >= DTPAGEMAXSLOT) { | ~~~~~~~ ^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Both the old and the new check were useless, but the previous version apparently did not lead to the warning.

jfs: add setlease file operation

2026-01-12T09:55:46+00:00

Add the setlease file_operation to jfs_file_operations and jfs_dir_operations, pointing to generic_setlease. 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 this filesystem.

jfs: Add missing set_freezable() for freezable kthread

2025-12-02T16:13:32+00:00

The jfsIOWait() thread calls try_to_freeze() but lacks set_freezable(), causing it to remain non-freezable by default. This prevents proper freezing during system suspend. Add set_freezable() to make the thread freezable as intended. Signed-off-by: Haotian Zhang Signed-off-by: Dave Kleikamp

jfs: nlink overflow in jfs_rename

2025-12-02T16:13:32+00:00

If nlink is maximal for a directory (-1) and inside that directory you perform a rename for some child directory (not moving from the parent), then the nlink of the first directory is first incremented and later decremented. Normally this is fine, but when nlink = -1 this causes a wrap around to 0, and then drop_nlink issues a warning. After applying the patch syzbot no longer issues any warnings. I also ran some basic fs tests to look for any regressions.
