Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL arguments

2026-02-22T04:03:00Z

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

2026-02-21T09:02:28Z

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

treewide: Drop pci_save_state() after pci_restore_state()

2025-11-24T22:58:59Z

In 2009, commit c82f63e411f1 ("PCI: check saved state before restore") changed the behavior of pci_restore_state() such that it became necessary to call pci_save_state() afterwards, lest recovery from subsequent PCI errors fails. The commit has just been reverted and so all the pci_save_state() after pci_restore_state() calls that have accumulated in the tree are now superfluous. Drop them. Two drivers chose a different approach to achieve the same result: drivers/scsi/ipr.c and drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/netdev.c set the pci_dev's "state_saved" flag to true before calling pci_restore_state(). Drop this as well.

tty: serial: switch from circ_buf to kfifo

2024-04-09T13:28:03Z

Switch from struct circ_buf to proper kfifo. kfifo provides much better API, esp. when wrap-around of the buffer needs to be taken into account. Look at pl011_dma_tx_refill() or cpm_uart_tx_pump() changes for example. Kfifo API can also fill in scatter-gather DMA structures, so it easier for that use case too. Look at lpuart_dma_tx() for example. Note that not all drivers can be converted to that (like atmel_serial), they handle DMA specially. Note that usb-serial uses kfifo for TX for ages. omap needed a bit more care as it needs to put a char into FIFO to start the DMA transfer when OMAP_DMA_TX_KICK is set. In that case, we have to do kfifo_dma_out_prepare twice: once to find out the tx_size (to find out if it is worths to do DMA at all -- size >= 4), the second time for the actual transfer. All traces of circ_buf are removed from serial_core.h (and its struct uart_state).

serial: jsm: Use port lock wrappers

2023-09-18T09:18:11Z

When a serial port is used for kernel console output, then all modifications to the UART registers which are done from other contexts, e.g. getty, termios, are interference points for the kernel console. So far this has been ignored and the printk output is based on the principle of hope. The rework of the console infrastructure which aims to support threaded and atomic consoles, requires to mark sections which modify the UART registers as unsafe. This allows the atomic write function to make informed decisions and eventually to restore operational state. It also allows to prevent the regular UART code from modifying UART registers while printk output is in progress. All modifications of UART registers are guarded by the UART port lock, which provides an obvious synchronization point with the console infrastructure. To avoid adding this functionality to all UART drivers, wrap the spin_[un]lock*() invocations for uart_port::lock into helper functions which just contain the spin_[un]lock*() invocations for now. In a subsequent step these helpers will gain the console synchronization mechanisms. Converted with coccinelle. No functional change.
