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: don't share pNFS DS connections between net namespaces

2025-04-28T03:25:44+00:00

Currently, different NFS clients can share the same DS connections, even when they are in different net namespaces. If a containerized client creates a DS connection, another container can find and use it. When the first client exits, the connection will close which can lead to stalls in other clients. Add a net namespace pointer to struct nfs4_pnfs_ds, and compare those value to the caller's netns in _data_server_lookup_locked() when searching for a nfs4_pnfs_ds to match.

nfs: pass struct nfsd_file to nfs_init_pgio and nfs_init_commit

2024-09-23T19:03:30+00:00

The nfsd_file will be passed, in future commits, by callers that enable LOCALIO support (for both regular NFS and pNFS IO).

nfs: remove dead code for the old swap over NFS implementation

2024-07-08T17:47:51+00:00

Remove the code testing folio_test_swapcache either explicitly or implicitly in pagemap.h headers, as is now handled using the direct I/O path and not the buffered I/O path that these helpers are located in. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: Sagi Grimberg Signed-off-by: Anna Schumaker

pNFS: rework pnfs_generic_pg_check_layout to check IO range

2024-05-21T12:34:15+00:00

All callers of pnfs_generic_pg_check_layout() also want to do a call to check that the layout's range covers the IO range. Merge the functionality of the pnfs_generic_pg_check_range() into that of pnfs_generic_pg_check_layout().

pNFS/filelayout: Specify the layout segment range in LAYOUTGET

2024-05-20T15:06:18+00:00

Move from only requesting full file layout segments to requesting layout segments that match our I/O size. This means the server is still free to return a full file layout if it wants, but partial layouts will no longer cause an error. Signed-off-by: Anna Schumaker Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust
