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

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using git grep -l '\

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

s390/tape: Consolidate tape config options and modules

2026-02-05T12:02:48Z

The tape device driver only supports 3490E devices on Virtual Tape Server (VTS). There is no point in keeping separated options and modules for different device types and general hardware support. Consolidate the tape config option into a single option, which enables the complete tape support with one singular module called 'tape_s390'. The corresponding module entry points are adapted and consolidate in tape_init() and tape_exit() respectively in tape_core.c The current module author and descriptions of the individual tape modules are outdated and haven't been changed for quite some time. Change it to a more generic description that is in line with the corresponding supported s390 architecture for the single tape module. Signed-off-by: Jan Höppner Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens

s390: Remove KMSG_COMPONENT macro

2025-11-24T10:45:21Z

The KMSG_COMPONENT macro is a leftover of the s390 specific "kernel message catalog" which never made it upstream. Remove the macro in order to get rid of a pointless indirection. Replace all users with the string it defines. In almost all cases this leads to a simple replacement like this: - #define KMSG_COMPONENT "appldata" - #define pr_fmt(fmt) KMSG_COMPONENT ": " fmt + #define pr_fmt(fmt) "appldata: " fmt Except for some special cases this is just mechanical/scripted work.

s390/tape: make tape_class constant

2024-03-13T08:23:49Z

Since commit 43a7206b0963 ("driver core: class: make class_register() take a const *"), the driver core allows for struct class to be in read-only memory, so move the tape_class structure to be declared at build time placing it into read-only memory, instead of having to be dynamically allocated at boot time.

driver core: class: remove module * from class_create()

2023-03-17T14:16:33Z

The module pointer in class_create() never actually did anything, and it shouldn't have been requred to be set as a parameter even if it did something. So just remove it and fix up all callers of the function in the kernel tree at the same time. Cc: "Rafael J.

s390: move from strlcpy with unused retval to strscpy

2022-08-30T20:00:33Z

Follow the advice of the below link and prefer 'strscpy' in this subsystem. Conversion is 1:1 because the return value is not used. Generated by a coccinelle script.
