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

devlink: region: correct port region lookup to use port_ops

2025-10-22T00:40:26+00:00

The function devlink_port_region_get_by_name() incorrectly uses region->ops->name to compare the region name. as it is not any critical impact as ops and port_ops define as union for devlink_region but as per code logic it should refer port_ops here. No functional impact as ops and port_ops are part of same union, and name is the first member of both. Update it to use region->port_ops->name to properly reference the name of the devlink port region.

devlink: region: snapshot IDs: consolidate error values

2024-10-29T23:52:57+00:00

Consolidate error codes for too big message size. Current code is written to return -EINVAL when tailroom in the skb msg would be exhausted precisely when it's time to nest, and return -EMSGSIZE in all other "not enough space" conditions.

devlink: introduce a helper for netlink multicast send

2023-12-19T14:31:40+00:00

Introduce a helper devlink_nl_notify_send() so each object notification function does not have to call genlmsg_multicast_netns() with the same arguments. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni

devlink: send notifications only if there are listeners

2023-12-19T14:31:40+00:00

Introduce devlink_nl_notify_need() helper and using it to check at the beginning of notification functions to avoid overhead of composing notification messages in case nobody listens. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni

devlink: Allow taking device lock in pre_doit operations

2023-11-18T17:38:50+00:00

Introduce a new private flag ('DEVLINK_NL_FLAG_NEED_DEV_LOCK') to allow netlink commands to specify that they need to acquire the device lock in their pre_doit operation and release it in their post_doit operation. The reload command will use this flag in the subsequent patch. No functional changes intended.

All remaining doit and dumpit netlink callback functions are going to be used by generated split ops. They expect certain name format. Rename the callback to be aligned with generated names.
