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/vmwgfx: Allow querying of the SVGA PCI id from the userspace

2022-03-11T18:29:35+00:00

Mesa3D loaders require knowledge of the devices PCI id. SVGAv2 and v3 have different PCI id's, but the same driver is used to handle them both. To allow Mesa3D svga driver to be loaded automatically for both SVGAv2 and SVGAv3 make the kernel return the PCI id of the currently running device.

drm/vmwgfx: Update device headers

2021-06-16T18:27:00+00:00

Historically our device headers have been forked versions of the internal device headers, this has made maintaining them a bit of a burden. To fix the situation, going forward, the device headers will be verbatim copies of the internal headers. To do that the driver code has to be adapted to use pristine device headers. This will make future update to the device headers trivial and automatic.

drm/vmwgfx: Simplify devcaps code

2021-06-12T04:00:48+00:00

Make devcaps code self-contained so that it's easier to cache and operate on them. As the number of devcaps got bigger the code dealing with them got more and more tricky. Lets create a central place to deal with all the complexity. This lets us remove the lock we used to require to deal with register write races because we only read the devcaps at initialization.

SVGA3 is the next version of our PCI device.
