linux-toradex.git/drivers/net/ethernet/altera, branch master Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument 2026-02-22T01:09:51+00:00 Linus Torvalds torvalds@linux-foundation.org 2026-02-22T00:37:42+00:00 bf4afc53b77aeaa48b5409da5c8da6bb4eff7f43 This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using git grep -l '\<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. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types 2026-02-21T09:02:28+00:00 Kees Cook kees@kernel.org 2026-02-21T07:49:23+00:00 69050f8d6d075dc01af7a5f2f550a8067510366f 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 <kees@kernel.org>
