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

kernfs: move struct kernfs_root out of the public view.

2022-02-23T14:46:34+00:00

There is no need to have struct kernfs_root be part of kernfs.h for the whole kernel to see and poke around it. Move it internal to kernfs code and provide a helper function, kernfs_root_to_node(), to handle the one field that kernfs users were directly accessing from the structure.

kernfs, sysfs, cgroup, intel_rdt: Support fs_context

2019-02-28T08:29:34+00:00

Make kernfs support superblock creation/mount/remount with fs_context. This requires that sysfs, cgroup and intel_rdt, which are built on kernfs, be made to support fs_context also. Notes: (1) A kernfs_fs_context struct is created to wrap fs_context and the kernfs mount parameters are moved in here (or are in fs_context). (2) kernfs_mount{,_ns}() are made into kernfs_get_tree(). The extra namespace tag parameter is passed in the context if desired (3) kernfs_free_fs_context() is provided as a destructor for the kernfs_fs_context struct, but for the moment it does nothing except get called in the right places. (4) sysfs doesn't wrap kernfs_fs_context since it has no parameters to pass, but possibly this should be done anyway in case someone wants to add a parameter in future. (5) A cgroup_fs_context struct is created to wrap kernfs_fs_context and the cgroup v1 and v2 mount parameters are all moved there. (6) cgroup1 parameter parsing error messages are now handled by invalf(), which allows userspace to collect them directly. (7) cgroup1 parameter cleanup is now done in the context destructor rather than in the mount/get_tree and remount functions. Weirdies: (*) cgroup_do_get_tree() calls cset_cgroup_from_root() with locks held, but then uses the resulting pointer after dropping the locks. I'm told this is okay and needs commenting. (*) The cgroup refcount web. This really needs documenting. (*) cgroup2 only has one root? Add a suggestion from Thomas Gleixner in which the RDT enablement code is placed into its own function.

unfuck sysfs_mount()

2018-05-21T18:30:09+00:00

new_sb is left uninitialized in case of early failures in kernfs_mount_ns(), and while IS_ERR(root) is true in all such cases, using IS_ERR(root) || !new_sb is not a solution - IS_ERR(root) is true in some cases when new_sb is true. Make sure new_sb is initialized (and matches the reality) in all cases and fix the condition for dropping kobj reference - we want it done precisely in those situations where the reference has not been transferred into a new super_block instance.

sysfs: remove DEBUG defines

2018-01-23T09:19:23+00:00

It isn't needed at all in these files, dynamic debug is the best way to enable this type of thing, if you really want it. As it is, these defines were not doing anything at all. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

sysfs: use SPDX identifiers

2018-01-23T09:19:10+00:00

Move the license "mark" of the sysfs files to be in SPDX form, instead of the custom text that it currently is in. This is in a quest to get rid of the 700+ different ways we say "GPLv2" in the kernel tree. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
