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

block: rate-limit capacity change info log

2025-11-17T18:30:24Z

loop devices under heavy stress-ng loop streessor can trigger many capacity change events in a short time. Each event prints an info message from set_capacity_and_notify(), flooding the console and contributing to soft lockups on slow consoles. Switch the printk in set_capacity_and_notify() to pr_info_ratelimited() so frequent capacity changes do not spam the log while still reporting occasional changes.

block: fix kobject double initialization in add_disk

2025-08-11T14:00:49Z

Device-mapper can call add_disk() multiple times for the same gendisk due to its two-phase creation process (dm create + dm load). This leads to kobject double initialization errors when the underlying iSCSI devices become temporarily unavailable and then reappear. However, if the first add_disk() call fails and is retried, the queue_kobj gets initialized twice, causing: kobject: kobject (ffff88810c27bb90): tried to init an initialized object, something is seriously wrong. Call Trace: dump_stack_lvl+0x5b/0x80 kobject_init.cold+0x43/0x51 blk_register_queue+0x46/0x280 add_disk_fwnode+0xb5/0x280 dm_setup_md_queue+0x194/0x1c0 table_load+0x297/0x2d0 ctl_ioctl+0x2a2/0x480 dm_ctl_ioctl+0xe/0x20 __x64_sys_ioctl+0xc7/0x110 do_syscall_64+0x72/0x390 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e Fix this by separating kobject initialization from sysfs registration: - Initialize queue_kobj early during gendisk allocation - add_disk() only adds the already-initialized kobject to sysfs - del_gendisk() removes from sysfs but doesn't destroy the kobject - Final cleanup happens when the disk is released Fixes: 2bd85221a625 ("block: untangle request_queue refcounting from sysfs") Reported-by: Li Lingfeng Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/all/83591d0b-2467-433c-bce0-5581298eb161@huawei.com/ Signed-off-by: Zheng Qixing Reviewed-by: Ming Lei Reviewed-by: Yu Kuai Reviewed-by: Nilay Shroff Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250808053609.3237836-1-zhengqixing@huaweicloud.com Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: fix false warning in bdev_count_inflight_rw()

2025-06-26T13:34:11Z

While bdev_count_inflight is interating all cpus, if some IOs are issued from traversed cpu and then completed from the cpu that is not traversed yet: cpu0 cpu1 bdev_count_inflight //for_each_possible_cpu // cpu0 is 0 infliht += 0 // issue a io blk_account_io_start // cpu0 inflight ++ cpu2 // the io is done blk_account_io_done // cpu2 inflight -- // cpu 1 is 0 inflight += 0 // cpu2 is -1 inflight += -1 ... In this case, the total inflight will be -1, causing lots of false warning. Fix the problem by removing the warning. Noted there is still a valid warning for nvme-mpath(From Yi) that is not fixed yet.
