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

scsi: lpfc: Refactor and clean up mailbox command memory free

2023-11-15T14:52:58+00:00

A lot of repeated clean up code exists when freeing mailbox commands in lpfc_mem_free_all(). Introduce a lpfc_mem_free_sli_mbox() helper routine to refactor the copy-paste code. Additionally, reinitialize the mailbox command structure context pointers to NULL in lpfc_sli4_mbox_cmd_free().

scsi: lpfc: Rework MIB Rx Monitor debug info logic

2022-09-01T03:39:58+00:00

The kernel test robot reported the following sparse warning: arch/arm64/include/asm/cmpxchg.h:88:1: sparse: sparse: cast truncates bits from constant value (369 becomes 69) On arm64, atomic_xchg only works on 8-bit byte fields. Thus, the macro usage of LPFC_RXMONITOR_TABLE_IN_USE can be unintentionally truncated leading to all logic involving the LPFC_RXMONITOR_TABLE_IN_USE macro to not work properly. Replace the Rx Table atomic_t indexing logic with a new lpfc_rx_info_monitor structure that holds a circular ring buffer. For locking semantics, a spinlock_t is used.

scsi: lpfc: Add rx monitoring statistics

The driver provides overwatch of the cm behavior by maintaining a set of rx I/O statistics. This information is also used in later updating of the cm statistics buffer.

scsi: lpfc: Add support for the CM framework

2021-08-25T02:56:34+00:00

Complete the enablement of the cm framework feature in the adapter. Perform the following: - Detect the presence of the congestion management framework feature. When the cm framework is present: - Issue the SET_FEATURE command to enable the feature. - Register the cm statistics buffer with the adapter. - Read the cm enablement buffer to determine the cm framework state for cm management. When cm management is enabled: - Monitor all FPIN and congestion signalling events, incrementing counters. - Regularly sync with the adapter to communicate congestion events and to receive an rx request limit. - Monitor requests for rx data and ensure that no more than the adapter prescribed limit is issued on the link. If the limit is exceeded, SCSI and/or NVMe traffic is temporarily suspended. - Maintain the minute, hourly, daily statistics buffer. - Monitor for congestion enablement change events, causing a reread of the enablement buffer and acting on any change in enablement. And: - Add teardown logic, including buffer deregistration, on adapter detachment or reset.
