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

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

xtensa: simdisk: add input size check in proc_write_simdisk

2025-09-01T08:14:45Z

A malicious user could pass an arbitrarily bad value to memdup_user_nul(), potentially causing kernel crash. This follows the same pattern as commit ee76746387f6 ("netdevsim: prevent bad user input in nsim_dev_health_break_write()") Fixes: b6c7e873daf7 ("xtensa: ISS: add host file-based simulated disk") Fixes: 16e5c1fc3604 ("convert a bunch of open-coded instances of memdup_user_nul()") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Miaoqian Lin Message-Id: <20250829083015.1992751-1-linmq006@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Max Filippov

block: move the nonrot flag to queue_limits

2024-06-19T13:58:28Z

Move the nonrot flag into the queue_limits feature field so that it can be set atomically with the queue frozen. Use the chance to switch to defaulting to non-rotational and require the driver to opt into rotational, which matches the polarity of the sysfs interface. For the z2ram, ps3vram, 2x memstick, ubiblock and dcssblk the new rotational flag is not set as they clearly are not rotational despite this being a behavior change. There are some other drivers that unconditionally set the rotational flag to keep the existing behavior as they arguably can be used on rotational devices even if that is probably not their main use today (e.g. virtio_blk and drbd). The flag is automatically inherited in blk_stack_limits matching the existing behavior in dm and md.

block: pass a queue_limits argument to blk_alloc_disk

2024-02-19T23:58:23Z

Pass a queue_limits to blk_alloc_disk and apply it if non-NULL. This will allow allocating queues with valid queue limits instead of setting the values one at a time later. Also change blk_alloc_disk to return an ERR_PTR instead of just NULL which can't distinguish errors.

block: replace fmode_t with a block-specific type for block open flags

2023-06-12T14:04:05Z

The only overlap between the block open flags mapped into the fmode_t and other uses of fmode_t are FMODE_READ and FMODE_WRITE. Define a new blk_mode_t instead for use in blkdev_get_by_{dev,path}, ->open and ->ioctl and stop abusing fmode_t.
