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

gnss: ubx: add support for the safeboot gpio

2025-11-20T15:44:04Z

U-Blox M8/M9 chip have a pin to start it in safeboot mode, to be used to recover from situations where the flash content has become corrupted and needs to be restored. If this pin is asserted at power up/reset, the receiver starts in safeboot mode and GNSS operation is disabled. Deassert the safeboot pin when probing this driver.

[tree-wide] finally take no_llseek out

2024-09-27T15:18:43Z

no_llseek had been defined to NULL two years ago, in commit 868941b14441 ("fs: remove no_llseek") To quote that commit, At -rc1 we'll need do a mechanical removal of no_llseek - git grep -l -w no_llseek | grep -v porting.rst | while read i; do sed -i '/\/d' $i done would do it. Unfortunately, that hadn't been done. Linus, could you do that now, so that we could finally put that thing to rest? All instances are of the form .llseek = no_llseek, so it's obviously safe.

treewide, serdev: change receive_buf() return type to size_t

2024-01-28T02:13:53Z

receive_buf() is called from ttyport_receive_buf() that expects values ">= 0" from serdev_controller_receive_buf(), change its return type from ssize_t to size_t. The need for this clean-up was noticed while fixing a warning, see commit 94d053942544 ("Bluetooth: btnxpuart: fix recv_buf() return value"). Changing the callback prototype to return an unsigned seems the best way to document the API and ensure that is properly used. GNSS drivers implementation of serdev receive_buf() callback return directly the return value of gnss_insert_raw(). gnss_insert_raw() returns a signed int, however this is not an issue since the value returned is always positive, because of the kfifo_in() implementation. gnss_insert_raw() could be changed to return also an unsigned, however this is not implemented here as request by the GNSS maintainer Johan Hovold.

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.
