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

mm: update shmem_[kernel]_file_*() functions to use vma_flags_t

2026-02-12T23:42:58Z

In order to be able to use only vma_flags_t in vm_area_desc we must adjust shmem file setup functions to operate in terms of vma_flags_t rather than vm_flags_t. This patch makes this change and updates all callers to use the new functions. No functional changes intended.

x86/sgx: Fix size overflows in sgx_encl_create()

2025-03-05T08:51:41Z

The total size calculated for EPC can overflow u64 given the added up page for SECS. Further, the total size calculated for shmem can overflow even when the EPC size stays within limits of u64, given that it adds the extra space for 128 byte PCMD structures (one for each page). Address this by pre-evaluating the micro-architectural requirement of SGX: the address space size must be power of two. This is eventually checked up by ECREATE but the pre-check has the additional benefit of making sure that there is some space for additional data.

mm/gup: remove unused vmas parameter from get_user_pages()

2023-06-09T23:25:25Z

Patch series "remove the vmas parameter from GUP APIs", v6. (pin_/get)_user_pages[_remote]() each provide an optional output parameter for an array of VMA objects associated with each page in the input range. These provide the means for VMAs to be returned, as long as mm->mmap_lock is never released during the GUP operation (i.e. the internal flag FOLL_UNLOCKABLE is not specified). In addition, these VMAs can only be accessed with the mmap_lock held and become invalidated the moment it is released. The vast majority of invocations do not use this functionality and of those that do, all but one case retrieve a single VMA to perform checks upon. It is not egregious in the single VMA cases to simply replace the operation with a vma_lookup(). In these cases we duplicate the (fast) lookup on a slow path already under the mmap_lock, abstracted to a new get_user_page_vma_remote() inline helper function which also performs error checking and reference count maintenance. The special case is io_uring, where io_pin_pages() specifically needs to assert that the VMAs underlying the range do not result in broken long-term GUP file-backed mappings. As GUP now internally asserts that FOLL_LONGTERM mappings are not file-backed in a broken fashion (i.e. requiring dirty tracking) - as implemented in "mm/gup: disallow FOLL_LONGTERM GUP-nonfast writing to file-backed mappings" - this logic is no longer required and so we can simply remove it altogether from io_uring. Eliminating the vmas parameter eliminates an entire class of danging pointer errors that might have occured should the lock have been incorrectly released. In addition, the API is simplified and now clearly expresses what it is intended for - applying the specified GUP flags and (if pinning) returning pinned pages. This change additionally opens the door to further potential improvements in GUP and the possible marrying of disparate code paths. I have run this series against gup_test with no issues. Thanks to Matthew Wilcox for suggesting this refactoring! This patch (of 6): No invocation of get_user_pages() use the vmas parameter, so remove it. The GUP API is confusing and caveated. Recent changes have done much to improve that, however there is more we can do. Exporting vmas is a prime target as the caller has to be extremely careful to preclude their use after the mmap_lock has expired or otherwise be left with dangling pointers. Removing the vmas parameter focuses the GUP functions upon their primary purpose - pinning (and outputting) pages as well as performing the actions implied by the input flags. This is part of a patch series aiming to remove the vmas parameter altogether.

x86/sgx: Replace kmap/kunmap_atomic() calls

2022-12-02T13:59:56Z

kmap_local_page() is the preferred way to create temporary mappings when it is feasible, because the mappings are thread-local and CPU-local. kmap_local_page() uses per-task maps rather than per-CPU maps. This in effect removes the need to disable preemption on the local CPU while the mapping is active, and thus vastly reduces overall system latency. It is also valid to take pagefaults within the mapped region. The use of kmap_atomic() in the SGX code was not an explicit design choice to disable page faults or preemption, and there is no compelling design reason to using kmap_atomic() vs. kmap_local_page().
