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

powerpc: Annotate endianness of various variables and functions

2023-10-19T06:12:47Z

Sparse reports several endianness warnings on variables and functions that are consistently treated as big endian. There are no multi-endianness shenanigans going on here so fix these low hanging fruit up in one patch. All changes are just type annotations; no endianness switching operations are introduced by this patch.

pseries/drmem: update LMBs after LPM

2021-08-10T13:14:55Z

After a LPM, the device tree node ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory may be updated by the hypervisor in the case the NUMA topology of the LPAR's memory is updated. This is handled by the kernel, but the memory's node is not updated because there is no way to move a memory block between nodes from the Linux kernel point of view. If later a memory block is added or removed, drmem_update_dt() is called and it is overwriting the DT node ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory to match the added or removed LMB. But the LMB's associativity node has not been updated after the DT node update and thus the node is overwritten by the Linux's topology instead of the hypervisor one. Introduce a hook called when the ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory node is updated to force an update of the LMB's associativity. However, ignore the call to that hook when the update has been triggered by drmem_update_dt(). Because, in that case, the LMB tree has been used to set the DT property and thus it doesn't need to be updated back. Since drmem_update_dt() is called under the protection of the device_hotplug_lock and the hook is called in the same context, use a simple boolean variable to detect that call.

pseries/drmem: don't cache node id in drmem_lmb struct

2020-09-02T01:00:21Z

At memory hot-remove time we can retrieve an LMB's nid from its corresponding memory_block. There is no need to store the nid in multiple locations. Note that lmb_to_memblock() uses find_memory_block() to get the corresponding memory_block. As find_memory_block() runs in sub-linear time this approach is negligibly slower than what we do at present. In exchange for this lookup at hot-remove time we no longer need to call memory_add_physaddr_to_nid() during drmem_init() for each LMB. On powerpc, memory_add_physaddr_to_nid() is a linear search, so this spares us an O(n^2) initialization during boot. On systems with many LMBs that initialization overhead is palpable and disruptive. For example, on a box with 249854 LMBs we're seeing drmem_init() take upwards of 30 seconds to complete: [ 53.721639] drmem: initializing drmem v2 [ 80.604346] watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#65 stuck for 23s!

powerpc/drmem: Make LMB walk a bit more flexible

2020-07-29T13:47:54Z

Currently, numa & prom are the only users of drmem LMB walk code. Loading kdump with kexec_file also needs to walk the drmem LMBs to setup the usable memory ranges for kdump kernel. But there are couple of issues in using the code as is. One, walk_drmem_lmb() code is built into the .init section currently, while kexec_file needs it later. Two, there is no scope to pass data to the callback function for processing and/or erroring out on certain conditions. Fix that by, moving drmem LMB walk code out of .init section, adding scope to pass data to the callback function and bailing out when an error is encountered in the callback function.
