drm/atomic: Remove state argument to drm_atomic_private_obj_init

2026-03-20T09:03:11+00:00

Now that all drm_private_objs users have been converted to use atomic_create_state instead of the old ad-hoc initialization, we can remove the state parameter from drm_private_obj_init and the fallback code.

drm/omapdrm: Switch private_obj initialization to atomic_create_state

2026-03-20T09:03:10+00:00

The omapdrm driver relies on a drm_private_obj, that is initialized by allocating and initializing a state, and then passing it to drm_private_obj_init. Since we're gradually moving away from that pattern to the more established one relying on a atomic_create_state implementation, let's migrate this instance to the new pattern.

Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL arguments

2026-02-22T04:03:00+00:00

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split over multiple lines. I only did the ones that are easy to verify the resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next line. Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial. So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed' scripts. The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want whitespace cleanup anyway. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

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/bridge: add connector argument to .hpd_notify callback

2025-12-24T22:22:13+00:00

Drivers might need to update DRM connector in the drm_bridge_funcs.hpd_notify callback (e.g. it might be necessary to update EDID before setting ELD). Add corresponding argument to the callback.

drm/fb-helper: Allocate and release fb_info in single place

2025-11-25T10:02:43+00:00

Move the calls to drm_fb_helper_alloc_info() from drivers into a single place in fbdev helpers. Allocates struct fb_info for a new framebuffer device. Then call drm_fb_helper_single_fb_probe() to create an fbdev screen buffer. Also release the instance on errors by calling drm_fb_helper_release_info(). Simplifies the code and fixes the error cleanup for some of the drivers. Regular release of the struct fb_info instance still happens in drm_fb_helper_fini() as before. v2: - remove error rollback in driver implementations (kernel test robot) - initialize info in TTM implementation (kernel test robot) Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann Acked-by: Christian König # radeon Acked-by: Dmitry Baryshkov # msm Acked-by: Javier Martinez Canillas Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20251027081245.80262-1-tzimmermann@suse.de

drm: include drm_print.h where needed

There are a gazillion files that depend on drm_print.h being indirectly included via drm_buddy.h, drm_mm.h, or ttm/ttm_resource.h. In preparation for removing those includes, explicitly include drm_print.h where needed.

drm/client: Add client free callback to unprepare fb_helper

2025-10-24T06:44:10+00:00

Add free callback to struct drm_client_funcs. Invoke function to free the client memory as part of the release process. Implement free for fbdev emulation. Fbdev emulation allocates and prepares client memory in drm_fbdev_client_setup(). The release happens in fb_destroy from struct fb_ops. Multiple implementations of this callback exist in the various drivers that provide an fbdev implementation. Each of them needs to follow the implementation details of the fbdev setup code. Adding a free callback for the client puts the unprepare and release of the fbdev client in a single place.
