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

NFS: fix delayed delegation return handling

2026-01-30T21:49:15+00:00

Rework this code that was totally busted at least as of my most recent changes. Introduce a separate list for delayed delegations so that they can't get lost and don't clutter up the returns list. Add a missing spin_unlock in the helper marking it as a regular pending return.

NFS: Merge CONFIG_NFS_V4_1 with CONFIG_NFS_V4

2026-01-30T16:42:21+00:00

Compiling the NFSv4 module without any minorversion support doesn't make much sense, so this patch sets NFS v4.1 as the default, always enabled NFS version allowing us to replace all the CONFIG_NFS_V4_1s scattered throughout the code with CONFIG_NFS_V4. Signed-off-by: Anna Schumaker

NFS: return delegations from the end of a LRU when over the watermark

2026-01-20T19:49:47+00:00

Directly returning delegations on close when over the watermark is rather suboptimal as these delegations are much more likely to be reused than those that have been unused for a long time. Switch to returning unused delegations from a new LRU list when we are above the threshold and there are reclaimable delegations instead. Pass over referenced delegations during the first pass to give delegations that aren't in active used by frequently used for stat() or similar another chance to not be instantly reclaimed. This scheme works the same as the referenced flags in the VFS inode and dentry caches. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Anna Schumaker

NFS: add a separate delegation return list

2026-01-20T19:49:47+00:00

Searching for returnable delegations in the per-server delegations list can be very expensive. While commit e04bbf6b1bbe ("NFS: Avoid quadratic search when freeing delegations.") reduced the overhead a bit, the fact that all the non-returnable delegations have to be searched limits the amount of optimizations that can be done. Fix this by introducing a separate list that only contains delegations scheduled for return. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Anna Schumaker

NFS: Fix inheritance of the block sizes when automounting

2025-11-29T22:23:03+00:00

Only inherit the block sizes that were actually specified as mount parameters for the parent mount. Fixes: 62a55d088cd8 ("NFS: Additional refactoring for fs_context conversion") Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust

NFS: Check the TLS certificate fields in nfs_match_client()

2025-11-10T15:32:28+00:00

If the TLS security policy is of type RPC_XPRTSEC_TLS_X509, then the cert_serial and privkey_serial fields need to match as well since they define the client's identity, as presented to the server.

NFSv4: Clear the NFS_CAP_XATTR flag if not supported by the server

2025-08-29T16:56:43+00:00

nfs_server_set_fsinfo() shouldn't assume that NFS_CAP_XATTR is unset on entry to the function. Fixes: b78ef845c35d ("NFSv4.2: query the server for extended attribute support") Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust

NFS: Fix the setting of capabilities when automounting a new filesystem

2025-08-04T16:16:45+00:00

Capabilities cannot be inherited when we cross into a new filesystem. They need to be reset to the minimal defaults, and then probed for again.
