Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL arguments

2026-02-22T04:03:00+00:00

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split over multiple lines. I only did the ones that are easy to verify the resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next line. Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial. So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed' scripts. The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want whitespace cleanup anyway. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

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

ALSA: hda/ext: Use guard() for spinlocks

2025-08-29T09:52:15+00:00

Replace the manual spin lock/unlock pairs with guard() for code simplification. Only code refactoring, and no behavior change. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250827072916.31933-23-tiwai@suse.de

ALSA: hda: Move HD-audio core stuff into sound/hda/core

2025-07-11T07:55:36+00:00

This is a part of HD-audio code restructuring. Simply move the current code of sound/hda/* into the subdirectory sound/hda/core, so that more stuff can be moved into sound/hda cleanly later. Most of file names with hdac_ and hdac_ext_ prefix are renamed without the prefix, since they can be identified well in the directory name and superfluous.
