Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL arguments

2026-02-22T04:03:00Z

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split over multiple lines. I only did the ones that are easy to verify the resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next line. Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial. So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed' scripts. The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want whitespace cleanup anyway. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

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

net: gianfar: Use device_get_named_child_node_count()

2025-06-19T22:36:21Z

We can avoid open-coding the loop construct which counts firmware child nodes with a specific name by using the newly added device_get_named_child_node_count(). The gianfar driver has such open-coded loop. Replace it with the device_get_child_node_count_named().

net: gianfar: convert to ndo_hwtstamp_get() and ndo_hwtstamp_set()

2025-05-09T23:42:29Z

New timestamping API was introduced in commit 66f7223039c0 ("net: add NDOs for configuring hardware timestamping") from kernel v6.6. It is time to convert the gianfar driver to the new API, so that the ndo_eth_ioctl() path can be removed completely. Don't propagate the unnecessary "config.flags = 0;" assignment to gfar_hwtstamp_get(), because dev_get_hwtstamp() provides a zero initialized struct kernel_hwtstamp_config. After removing timestamping logic from gfar_ioctl(), the rest is equivalent to phy_do_ioctl_running(), so provide that directly as our ndo_eth_ioctl() implementation.

net: gianfar: Use __be64 * to store pointers to big endian values

2024-10-15T11:59:26Z

Timestamp values are read using pointers to 64-bit big endian values. But the type of these pointers is u64 *, host byte order. Use __be64 * instead. Flagged by Sparse: .../gianfar.c:2212:60: warning: cast to restricted __be64 .../gianfar.c:2475:53: warning: cast to restricted __be64 Introduced by commit cc772ab7cdca ("gianfar: Add hardware RX timestamping support").

net: ethernet: Switch back to struct platform_driver::remove()

2024-10-04T23:39:56Z

After commit 0edb555a65d1 ("platform: Make platform_driver::remove() return void") .remove() is (again) the right callback to implement for platform drivers. Convert all platform drivers below drivers/net/ethernet to use .remove(), with the eventual goal to drop struct platform_driver::remove_new(). As .remove() and .remove_new() have the same prototypes, conversion is done by just changing the structure member name in the driver initializer.

If nvmem loads after the ethernet driver, mac address assignments will not take effect. of_get_ethdev_address returns EPROBE_DEFER in such a case so we need to handle that to avoid eth_hw_addr_random.
