kobject: Reorder fields in 'struct kobject'

2023-08-05T06:31:41+00:00

Group some variables based on their sizes to reduce hole and avoid padding. On x86_64, this shrinks the size of 'struct kobject' from 256 to 244 bytes. This structure is often included in some other structures. So these other structures will also benefit from this 8 bytes saving. This is especially nice for structure like 'cma_kobject' or 'class_dir' that are now 256 bytes long. When they are kzalloc()'ed, 256 bytes are allocated, instead of 512.

kobject.h remove extern from function prototypes

2023-03-24T14:35:51+00:00

The kernel coding style does not require 'extern' in function prototypes in .h files, so remove them from include/linux/kobject.h as they are not needed. Acked-by: Rafael J.

kobject: kset_uevent_ops: make uevent() callback take a const *

2023-01-27T12:45:53+00:00

The uevent() callback in struct kset_uevent_ops does not modify the kobject passed into it, so make the pointer const to enforce this restriction. When doing so, fix up all existing uevent() callbacks to have the correct signature to preserve the build.

kobject: kset_uevent_ops: make name() callback take a const *

2022-11-22T16:34:52+00:00

The name() callback in struct kset_uevent_ops does not modify the kobject passed into it, so make the pointer const to enforce this restriction. When doing so, fix up the single existing name() callback to have the correct signature to preserve the build. Acked-by: Rafael J.

kobject: make kobject_namespace take a const *

2022-11-22T16:34:43+00:00

kobject_namespace() should take a const *kobject as it does not modify the kobject passed to it. Change that, and the functions kobj_child_ns_ops() and kobj_ns_ops() needed to also be changed to const *. Acked-by: Rafael J.

kobject: make kobject_get_ownership() take a constant kobject *

2022-11-22T16:34:29+00:00

The call, kobject_get_ownership(), does not modify the kobject passed into it, so make it const. This propagates down into the kobj_type function callbacks so make the kobject passed into them also const, ensuring that nothing in the kobject is being changed here. This helps make it more obvious what calls and callbacks do, and do not, modify structures passed to them. Cc: Trond Myklebust Cc: Anna Schumaker Cc: Roopa Prabhu Cc: "David S.

kobject: make get_ktype() take a const pointer

2022-10-22T07:55:19+00:00

get_ktype() does not modify the structure passed to it, so mark the parameter as being const to allow other const structures to be passed to it in the future. Cc: "Rafael J.

kobject: kobj_type: remove default_attrs

2022-04-05T13:39:19+00:00

Now that all in-kernel users of default_attrs for the kobj_type are gone and converted to properly use the default_groups pointer instead, it can be safely removed. There is one standard way to create sysfs files in a kobj_type, and not two like before, causing confusion as to which should be used. Cc: "Rafael J.
