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

lib: remove "expecting prototype" kernel-doc warnings

2021-04-16T23:10:37+00:00

Fix various kernel-doc warnings in lib/ due to missing or erroneous function names. Add kernel-doc for some function parameters that was missing. Use kernel-doc "Return:" notation in earlycpio.c. Quietens the following warnings: lib/earlycpio.c:61: warning: expecting prototype for cpio_data find_cpio_data(). Prototype was for find_cpio_data() instead lib/lru_cache.c:640: warning: expecting prototype for lc_dump(). Prototype was for lc_seq_dump_details() instead lru_cache.c:90: warning: Function parameter or member 'cache' not described in 'lc_create' lib/parman.c:368: warning: expecting prototype for parman_item_del(). Prototype was for parman_item_remove() instead parman.c:309: warning: Excess function parameter 'prority' description in 'parman_prio_init' lib/radix-tree.c:703: warning: expecting prototype for __radix_tree_insert().

lib: Introduce priority array area manager

2017-02-03T21:35:42+00:00

This introduces a infrastructure for management of linear priority areas. Priority order in an array matters, however order of items inside a priority group does not matter. As an initial implementation, L-sort algorithm is used. It is quite trivial. More advanced algorithm called P-sort will be introduced as a follow-up. The infrastructure is prepared for other algos. Alongside this, a testing module is introduced as well. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
