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

ubifs: correct UBIFS_DFS_DIR_LEN macro definition and improve code clarity

2024-07-12T19:52:24+00:00

The UBIFS_DFS_DIR_LEN macro, which defines the maximum length of the UBIFS debugfs directory name, has an incorrect formula and misleading comments. The current formula is (3 + 1 + 2*2 + 1), which assumes that both UBI device number and volume ID are limited to 2 characters. However, UBI device number ranges from 0 to 31 (2 characters), and volume ID ranges from 0 to 127 (up to 3 characters). Although the current code works due to the cancellation of mathematical errors (9 + 1 = 10, which matches the correct UBIFS_DFS_DIR_LEN value), it can lead to confusion and potential issues in the future. This patch aims to improve the code clarity and maintainability by making the following changes: 1. Corrects the UBIFS_DFS_DIR_LEN macro definition to (3 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 1), accommodating the maximum lengths of both UBI device number and volume ID, plus the separators and null terminator. 2. Updates the snprintf calls to use UBIFS_DFS_DIR_LEN instead of UBIFS_DFS_DIR_LEN + 1, removing the unnecessary +1. 3. Modifies the error checks to compare against UBIFS_DFS_DIR_LEN using >= instead of >, aligning with the corrected macro definition. 4. Removes the redundant +1 in the dfs_dir_name array definitions in ubi.h and debug.h. While these changes do not affect the runtime behavior, they make the code more readable, maintainable, and less prone to future errors. v2->v3: - Removes the duplicated UBIFS_DFS_DIR_LEN and UBIFS_DFS_DIR_NAME macro definitions in ubifs.h, as they are already defined in debug.h.

ubifs: make kobj_type structures constant

2023-02-13T21:29:54+00:00

Since commit ee6d3dd4ed48 ("driver core: make kobj_type constant.") the driver core allows the usage of const struct kobj_type. Take advantage of this to constify the structure definitions to prevent modification at runtime. Signed-off-by: Thomas Weißschuh Reviewed-by: Zhihao Cheng Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger

ubifs: use default_groups in kobj_type

2022-01-26T14:57:19+00:00

There are currently 2 ways to create a set of sysfs files for a kobj_type, through the default_attrs field, and the default_groups field. Move the ubifs sysfs code to use default_groups field which has been the preferred way since aa30f47cf666 ("kobject: Add support for default attribute groups to kobj_type") so that we can soon get rid of the obsolete default_attrs field.

ubifs: fix snprintf() length check

2021-12-23T21:08:19+00:00

The snprintf() function returns the number of bytes (not including the NUL terminator) which would have been printed if there were enough space. So it can be greater than UBIFS_DFS_DIR_LEN. And actually if it equals UBIFS_DFS_DIR_LEN then that's okay so this check is too strict.

ubifs: Export filesystem error counters

2021-12-23T19:23:42+00:00

Not all ubifs filesystem errors are propagated to userspace. Export bad magic, bad node and crc errors via sysfs. This allows userspace to notice filesystem errors: /sys/fs/ubifs/ubiX_Y/errors_magic /sys/fs/ubifs/ubiX_Y/errors_node /sys/fs/ubifs/ubiX_Y/errors_crc The counters are reset to 0 with a remount.
