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

treewide: Switch/rename to timer_delete[_sync]()

2025-04-05T08:30:12+00:00

timer_delete[_sync]() replaces del_timer[_sync](). Convert the whole tree over and remove the historical wrapper inlines. Conversion was done with coccinelle plus manual fixups where necessary. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

tipc: add host-endian copy of user subscription to struct tipc_subscription

2021-03-17T18:51:05+00:00

We reduce and localize the usage of the tipc_sub_xx() macros by adding a corresponding member, with fields set in host-endian format, to struct tipc_subscription. Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy Acked-by: Ying Xue Acked-by: Hoang Le Acked-by: Tung Nguyen Acked-by: Xin Long Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

tipc: simplify api between binding table and topology server

2021-03-17T18:51:05+00:00

The function tipc_report_overlap() is called from the binding table with numerous parameters taken from an instance of struct publication. A closer look reveals that it always is safe to send along a pointer to the instance itself, and hence reduce the call signature. We do that in this commit.

tipc: fix unbalanced reference counter

2018-04-13T01:46:10+00:00

When a topology subscription is created, we may encounter (or KASAN may provoke) a failure to create a corresponding service instance in the binding table. Instead of letting the tipc_nametbl_subscribe() report the failure back to the caller, the function just makes a warning printout and returns, without incrementing the subscription reference counter as expected by the caller. This makes the caller believe that the subscription was successful, so it will at a later moment try to unsubscribe the item. This involves a sub_put() call. Since the reference counter never was incremented in the first place, we get a premature delete of the subscription item, followed by a "use-after-free" warning. We fix this by adding a return value to tipc_nametbl_subscribe() and make the caller aware of the failure to subscribe. This bug seems to always have been around, but this fix only applies back to the commit shown below. Given the low risk of this happening we believe this to be sufficient.
