Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

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 *".

lib: error-inject: remove error checking for debugfs_create_dir()

2023-08-18T17:18:55+00:00

It is expected that most callers should _ignore_ the errors return by
debugfs_create_dir() in ei_debugfs_init().

error-injection: remove EI_ETYPE_NONE

2023-02-03T06:50:00+00:00

Patch series "error-injection: Clarify the requirements of error
injectable functions".

Patches for clarifying the requirement of error injectable functions and
to remove the confusing EI_ETYPE_NONE.


This patch (of 2):

Since the EI_ETYPE_NONE is confusing type, replace it with appropriate
errno.  The EI_ETYPE_NONE has been introduced for a dummy (error) value,
but it can mislead people that they can use ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION(func,
NONE).  So remove it from the EI_ETYPE and use appropriate errno instead.

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: include/linux/error-injection.h needs errno.h]

lib/error-inject: traverse list with mutex

2022-07-18T00:31:38+00:00

Traversing list without mutex in get_injectable_error_type will
race with the following code:
    list_del_init(&ent->list)
    kfree(ent)
in module_unload_ei_list. So fix that.

kprobes: treewide: Replace arch_deref_entry_point() with dereference_symbol_descriptor()

2021-10-01T01:24:06+00:00

~15 years ago kprobes grew the 'arch_deref_entry_point()' __weak function:

  3d7e33825d87: ("jprobes: make jprobes a little safer for users")

But this is just open-coded dereference_symbol_descriptor() in essence, and
its obscure nature was causing bugs.

Just use the real thing and remove arch_deref_entry_point().

fault-injection: handle EI_ETYPE_TRUE

2020-12-16T06:46:19+00:00

Commit af3b854492f351d1 ("mm/page_alloc.c: allow error injection")
introduced EI_ETYPE_TRUE, but did not extend

 * lib/error-inject.c:error_type_string(), and
 * kernel/fail_function.c:adjust_error_retval()

to accommodate for this change.

Handle EI_ETYPE_TRUE in both functions appropriately by
 * returning "TRUE" in error_type_string(),
 * adjusting the return value to true (1) in adjust_error_retval().

Furthermore, simplify the logic of handling EI_ETYPE_NULL in
adjust_error_retval().

treewide: Switch printk users from %pf and %pF to %ps and %pS, respectively

2019-04-09T12:19:06+00:00

%pF and %pf are functionally equivalent to %pS and %ps conversion
specifiers. The former are deprecated, therefore switch the current users
to use the preferred variant.

The changes have been produced by the following command:

	git grep -l '%p[fF]' | grep -v '^\(tools\|Documentation\)/' | \
	while read i; do perl -i -pe 's/%pf/%ps/g; s/%pF/%pS/g;' $i; done

And verifying the result.

error-injection: Add injectable error types

2018-01-13T01:33:38+00:00

Add injectable error types for each error-injectable function.

One motivation of error injection test is to find software flaws,
mistakes or mis-handlings of expectable errors. If we find such
flaws by the test, that is a program bug, so we need to fix it.

But if the tester miss input the error (e.g. just return success
code without processing anything), it causes unexpected behavior
even if the caller is correctly programmed to handle any errors.
That is not what we want to test by error injection.

To clarify what type of errors the caller must expect for each
injectable function, this introduces injectable error types:

 - EI_ETYPE_NULL : means the function will return NULL if it
		    fails. No ERR_PTR, just a NULL.
 - EI_ETYPE_ERRNO : means the function will return -ERRNO
		    if it fails.
 - EI_ETYPE_ERRNO_NULL : means the function will return -ERRNO
		       (ERR_PTR) or NULL.

ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION() macro is expanded to get one of
NULL, ERRNO, ERRNO_NULL to record the error type for
each function. e.g.

 ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION(open_ctree, ERRNO)

This error types are shown in debugfs as below.

  ====
  / # cat /sys/kernel/debug/error_injection/list
  open_ctree [btrfs]	ERRNO
  io_ctl_init [btrfs]	ERRNO
  ====
