treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

2026-02-21T09:02:28+00:00

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

drm: convert many bridge drivers from devm_kzalloc() to devm_drm_bridge_alloc() API

2025-05-23T13:03:47+00:00

devm_drm_bridge_alloc() is the new API to be used for allocating (and partially initializing) a private driver struct embedding a struct drm_bridge. For many drivers having a simple code flow in the probe function, this commit does a mass conversion automatically with the following semantic patch. The changes have been reviewed manually for correctness as well as to find any false positives. The patch has been applied with the explicit exclusion of bridge/panel.c, handled by a separate patch. After applying the semantic patch, manually fixed these issues: - 4 drivers need ERR_CAST() instead of PTR_ERR() as the function calling devm_drm_bridge_alloc() returns a pointer - re-added empty lines and comments that the script had removed but that should stay @@ type T; identifier C; identifier BR; expression DEV; expression FUNCS; @@ -T *C; +T *C; ...

drm/bridge: Add encoder parameter to drm_bridge_funcs.attach

2025-03-20T13:45:38+00:00

The drm_bridge structure contains an encoder pointer that is widely used by bridge drivers. This pattern is largely documented as deprecated in other KMS entities for atomic drivers. However, one of the main use of that pointer is done in attach to just call drm_bridge_attach on the next bridge to add it to the bridge list. While this dereferences the bridge->encoder pointer, it's effectively the same encoder the bridge was being attached to. We can make it more explicit by adding the encoder the bridge is attached to to the list of attach parameters. This also removes the need to dereference bridge->encoder in most drivers.

drm/bridge: aux: allow interlaced and YCbCr 420 output

2024-10-24T19:42:26+00:00

As both aux bridges are merely passthrough bridges, mark them as supporting interlaced and YCbCr 420 data. Other bridges in the chain still might limit interlaced and YCbCr 420 data support on the corresponding connector.

drm/bridge: Fix assignment of the of_node of the parent to aux bridge

2024-10-21T12:59:48+00:00

The assignment of the of_node to the aux bridge needs to mark the of_node as reused as well, otherwise resource providers like pinctrl will report a gpio as already requested by a different device when both pinconf and gpios property are present. Fix that by using the device_set_of_node_from_dev() helper instead.

drm/bridge: properly refcount DT nodes in aux bridge drivers

2023-12-19T00:06:16+00:00

The aux-bridge and aux-hpd-bridge drivers didn't call of_node_get() on the device nodes further used for dev->of_node and platform data. When bridge devices are released, the reference counts are decreased, resulting in refcount underflow / use-after-free warnings. Get corresponding refcounts during AUX bridge allocation.
