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

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

Input: gamecon - use guard notation when acquiring mutex

2024-10-03T16:07:31Z

Using guard notation makes the code more compact and error handling more robust by ensuring that mutexes are released in all code paths when control leaves critical section. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240904043104.1030257-3-dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov

Merge tag 'input-for-v6.11-rc0' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dtor/input

2024-07-19T23:51:39Z

Pull input updates from Dmitry Torokhov: - streamlined logic in input core for handling normal input handlers vs input filters - updates to input drivers to allocate memory with sizeof(*pointer) instead of sizeof(type) - change to ads7846 touchscreen driver to use hsync GPIO instead of requiring platform data with special method (which is not compatible with boards using device tree) - update to adc-joystick driver to handle inverted axes - cleanups in various drivers switching them to use the new "guard" and "__free()" facilities - changes to several drivers (adxl34x, atmel_mxt_ts, ati-remote2, omap-keypad, yealink) to stop creating driver-specific device attributes manually and use driver core facilities for this - update to Cypress PS/2 protocol driver to properly handle errors from the PS/2 transport as well as other cleanups - update to edt-ft5x06 driver to support ft5426 variant - update to ektf2127 driver to support ektf2232 variant - update to exc3000 driver to support EXC81W32 variant - update to imagis driver to support IST3038 variant - other assorted driver cleanups. * tag 'input-for-v6.11-rc0' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dtor/input: (71 commits) Input: yealink - simplify locking in sysfs attribute handling Input: yealink - use driver core to instantiate device attributes Input: ati-remote2 - use driver core to instantiate device attributes Input: omap-keypad - use driver core to instantiate device attributes Input: atmel_mxt_ts - use driver core to instantiate device attributes Input: exc3000 - add EXC81W32 support dt-bindings: input: touchscreen: exc3000: add EXC81W32 Input: twl4030-pwrbutton - fix kernel-doc warning Input: himax_hx83112b - add support for HX83100A Input: himax_hx83112b - add himax_chip struct for multi-chip support Input: himax_hx83112b - implement MCU register reading Input: himax_hx83112b - use more descriptive register defines dt-bindings: input: touchscreen: himax,hx83112b: add HX83100A Input: do not check number of events in input_pass_values() Input: preallocate memory to hold event values Input: rearrange input_alloc_device() to prepare for preallocating of vals Input: simplify event handling logic Input: make events() method return number of events processed Input: make sure input handlers define only one processing method Input: evdev - remove ->event() method ...

parport: Remove parport_driver.devmodel

'devmodel' hasn't actually been used since: 'commit 3275158fa52a ("parport: remove use of devmodel")' and everyone now has it set to true and has been fixed up; remove the flag.

Input: joystick - use sizeof(*pointer) instead of sizeof(type)

2024-06-09T21:38:43Z

It is preferred to use sizeof(*pointer) instead of sizeof(type) due to the type of the variable can change and one needs not change the former (unlike the latter). At the same time refactor the code to not use assignment in "if" conditions. This patch has no effect on runtime behavior.
