treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

2026-02-21T09:02:28Z

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

net: wan: framer: Discard pm_runtime_put() return values

2026-01-08T16:15:03Z

The framer driver defines framer_pm_runtime_put() to return an int, but that return value is never used. It also passes the return value of pm_runtime_put() to the caller which is not very useful. Returning an error code from pm_runtime_put() merely means that it has not queued up a work item to check whether or not the device can be suspended and there are many perfectly valid situations in which that can happen, like after writing "on" to the devices' runtime PM "control" attribute in sysfs for one example. Modify phy_pm_runtime_put() to discard the pm_runtime_put() return value and change its return type to void. No intentional functional impact. This will facilitate a planned change of the pm_runtime_put() return type to void in the future. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

net: wan: framer: pef2256: Switch to devm_mfd_add_devices()

2025-11-06T02:02:34Z

The driver calls mfd_add_devices() but fails to call mfd_remove_devices() in error paths after successful MFD device registration and in the remove function. This leads to resource leaks where MFD child devices are not properly unregistered. Replace mfd_add_devices with devm_mfd_add_devices to automatically manage the device resources.

2025-09-26T22:13:01Z

Lantiq PEF2256 framer has some little differences in behaviour depending on its version. Add a sysfs attribute to allow user applications to know the version.

net: Switch back to struct platform_driver::remove()

2024-10-04T23:39:57Z

After commit 0edb555a65d1 ("platform: Make platform_driver::remove() return void") .remove() is (again) the right callback to implement for platform drivers. Convert all platform drivers below drivers/net after the previous conversion commits apart from the wireless drivers to use .remove(), with the eventual goal to drop struct platform_driver::remove_new(). As .remove() and .remove_new() have the same prototypes, conversion is done by just changing the structure member name in the driver initializer.

net: wan: framer/pef2256: Convert to platform remove callback returning void

2024-03-11T21:58:20Z

The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by returning an error code. However the value returned is ignored (apart from emitting a warning) and this typically results in resource leaks. To improve here there is a quest to make the remove callback return void. In the first step of this quest all drivers are converted to .remove_new(), which already returns void. Eventually after all drivers are converted, .remove_new() will be renamed to .remove(). Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove callback to the void returning variant.

Since commit 43a7206b0963 ("driver core: class: make class_register() take a const *"), the driver core allows for struct class to be in read-only memory, so move the framer_class structure to be declared at build time placing it into read-only memory, instead of having to be dynamically allocated at boot time.
