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.

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 *".

driver core: have match() callback in struct bus_type take a const *

2024-07-03T13:16:54+00:00

In the match() callback, the struct device_driver * should not be
changed, so change the function callback to be a const *.  This is one
step of many towards making the driver core safe to have struct
device_driver in read-only memory.

Because the match() callback is in all busses, all busses are modified
to handle this properly.  This does entail switching some container_of()
calls to container_of_const() to properly handle the constant *.

For some busses, like PCI and USB and HV, the const * is cast away in
the match callback as those busses do want to modify those structures at
this point in time (they have a local lock in the driver structure.)
That will have to be changed in the future if they wish to have their
struct device * in read-only-memory.

ipack: make ipack_bus_type const

2024-03-07T20:32:47+00:00

Now that the driver core can properly handle constant struct bus_type,
move the ipack_bus_type variable to be a constant structure as well,
placing it into read-only memory which can not be modified at runtime.

Merge tag 'tty-6.8-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty

2024-01-18T19:37:24+00:00

Pull tty / serial updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of tty and serial driver changes for 6.8-rc1.

  As usual, Jiri has a bunch of refactoring and cleanups for the tty
  core and drivers in here, along with the usual set of rs485 updates
  (someday this might work properly...)

  Along with those, in here are changes for:

   - sc16is7xx serial driver updates

   - platform driver removal api updates

   - amba-pl011 driver updates

   - tty driver binding updates

   - other small tty/serial driver updates and changes

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
  issues"
