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

mtd: inftlcore: Add error check for inftl_read_oob()

2025-04-07T07:02:31+00:00

In INFTL_findwriteunit(), the return value of inftl_read_oob() need to be checked. A proper implementation can be found in INFTL_deleteblock(). The status will be set as SECTOR_IGNORE to break from the while-loop correctly if the inftl_read_oob() fails.

mtd: always initialize 'stats' in struct mtd_oob_ops

2022-09-21T08:38:07+00:00

As the 'stats' field in struct mtd_oob_ops is used in conditional expressions, ensure it is always zero-initialized in all such structures to prevent random stack garbage from being interpreted as a pointer. Strictly speaking, this problem currently only needs to be fixed for struct mtd_oob_ops structures subsequently passed to mtd_read_oob(). However, this commit goes a step further and makes all instances of struct mtd_oob_ops in the tree zero-initialized, in hope of preventing future problems, e.g. if struct mtd_req_stats gets extended with write statistics at some point.

mtd: nand: Rename nand.h into rawnand.h

We are planning to share more code between different NAND based devices (SPI NAND, OneNAND and raw NANDs), but before doing that we need to move the existing include/linux/mtd/nand.h file into include/linux/mtd/rawnand.h so we can later create a nand.h header containing all common structure and function prototypes.

mtd: nand: add a helper to detect the nand type

2013-10-27T23:27:06+00:00

This helper detects that whether the mtd's type is nand type. Now, it's clear that the MTD_NANDFLASH stands for SLC nand only. So use the mtd_type_is_nand() to replace the old check method to do the nand type (include the SLC and MLC) check. Signed-off-by: Huang Shijie Signed-off-by: Brian Norris
