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

sysfs: treewide: switch back to bin_attribute::read()/write()

2025-06-17T08:44:13Z

The bin_attribute argument of bin_attribute::read() is now const. This makes the _new() callbacks unnecessary. Switch all users back.

treewide, timers: Rename from_timer() to timer_container_of()

Move this API to the canonical timer_*() namespace. [ tglx: Redone against pre rc1 ] Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/aB2X0jCKQO56WdMt@gmail.com

treewide: Switch/rename to timer_delete[_sync]()

2025-04-05T08:30:12Z

timer_delete[_sync]() replaces del_timer[_sync](). Convert the whole tree over and remove the historical wrapper inlines. Conversion was done with coccinelle plus manual fixups where necessary. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

fbdev: radeon: Use const 'struct bin_attribute' callbacks

2024-12-22T06:03:42Z

The sysfs core now provides callback variants that explicitly take a const pointer. Make use of it to match the attribute definitions. Signed-off-by: Thomas Weißschuh Signed-off-by: Helge Deller

fbdev/radeon: Initialize fb_ops to fbdev I/O-memory helpers

2023-10-19T10:56:12Z

Initialize the instance of struct fb_ops with fbdev initializer macros for framebuffers in I/O address space. Set the read/write, draw and mmap callbacks to the correct implementation and avoid implicit defaults. Also select the necessary I/O helpers in Kconfig. Fbdev drivers sometimes rely on the callbacks being NULL for a default implementation to be invoked; hence requiring the I/O helpers to be built in any case. Setting all callbacks in all drivers explicitly will allow to make the I/O helpers optional. This benefits systems that do not use these functions. No functional changes.

fbdev: Remove FBINFO_DEFAULT from framebuffer_alloc()'ed structs

2023-07-24T14:50:38Z

The flag FBINFO_DEFAULT is 0 and has no effect, as struct fbinfo.flags has been allocated to zero by framebuffer_alloc(). So do not set it. Flags should signal differences from the default values. After cleaning up all occurrences of FBINFO_DEFAULT, the token will be removed. v4: * clarify commit message (Geert, Dan) v2: * fix commit message (Miguel) Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann Acked-by: Sam Ravnborg Cc: Helge Deller Cc: Nicolas Ferre Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Cc: Ferenc Bakonyi Cc: "K.

fbdev/radeonfb: Reorder backlight and framebuffer cleanup

2023-06-27T07:58:49Z

The driver's backlight code requires the framebuffer to be registered. Therefore reorder the cleanup calls for both data structures. The init calls are already in the correct order.

fbdev/radeon: use pci aperture helpers

It's not exactly the same since the open coded version doesn't set primary correctly. But that's a bugfix, so shouldn't hurt really.
