Let's rename it to make it better match our new naming scheme.

While at it, polish the kerneldoc.

<title>mm/memory: remove "zap_details" parameter from zap_page_range_single()</title>

Nobody except memory.c should really set that parameter to non-NULL.  So
let's just drop it and make unmap_mapping_range_vma() use
zap_page_range_single_batched() instead.

<title>Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument</title>
<updated>2026-02-22T01:09:51+00:00</updated>

<id>bf4afc53b77aeaa48b5409da5c8da6bb4eff7f43</id>
<content type='text'>
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\&lt;k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

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 *".

<title>android/binder: don't abuse current-&gt;group_leader</title>

<id>33caa19f4b318378bf54692b30724f442c981dad</id>
<content type='text'>
Patch series "don't abuse task_struct.group_leader", v2.

This series removes the usage of -&gt;group_leader when it is "obviously
unnecessary".

I am going to move -&gt;group_leader from task_struct to signal_struct or at
least add the new task_group_leader() helper.  So I will send more
tree-wide changes on top of this series.


This patch (of 7):

Cleanup and preparation to simplify the next changes.

- Use current-&gt;tgid instead of current-&gt;group_leader-&gt;pid

- Use the value returned by get_task_struct() to initialize proc-&gt;tsk

<title>binder: don't use %pK through printk</title>

<id>56d21267663bad91e8b10121224ec46366a7937e</id>
<content type='text'>
In the past %pK was preferable to %p as it would not leak raw pointer
values into the kernel log. Since commit ad67b74d2469 ("printk: hash
addresses printed with %p") the regular %p has been improved to avoid
this issue. Furthermore, restricted pointers ("%pK") were never meant
to be used through printk(). They can still unintentionally leak raw
pointers or acquire sleeping locks in atomic contexts.

Switch to the regular pointer formatting which is safer and
easier to reason about.

There are still a few users of %pK left, but these use it through
seq_file, for which its usage is safe.

<title>binder: Convert binder_alloc selftests to KUnit</title>

<id>f6544dcdd0d2feb74f395072d8df52e3bea4be51</id>
<content type='text'>
Convert the existing binder_alloc_selftest tests into KUnit tests. These
tests allocate and free an exhaustive combination of buffers with
various sizes and alignments. This change allows them to be run without
blocking or otherwise interfering with other processes in binder.

This test is refactored into more meaningful cases in the subsequent
patch.
