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

nvdimm: Introduce guard() for nvdimm_bus_lock

2025-09-25T17:40:11+00:00

Converting nvdimm_bus_lock/unlock to guard() to clean up usage of gotos for error handling and avoid future mistakes of missed unlock on error paths.

libnvdimm: Make remove callback return void

2021-02-17T03:35:29+00:00

All drivers return 0 in their remove callback and the driver core ignores the return value of nvdimm_bus_remove() anyhow. So simplify by changing the driver remove callback to return void and return 0 unconditionally to the upper layer.

libnvdimm/dimm: Simplify nvdimm_remove()

2021-02-17T03:34:57+00:00

nvdimm_remove is only ever called after nvdimm_probe() returned successfully. In this case driver data is always set to a non-NULL value so the check for driver data being NULL can go away as it's always false.

libnvdimm/region: Introduce NDD_LABELING

2020-03-17T19:23:21+00:00

The NDD_ALIASING flag is used to indicate where pmem capacity might alias with blk capacity and require labeling. It is also used to indicate whether the DIMM supports labeling. Separate this latter capability into its own flag so that the NDD_ALIASING flag is scoped to true aliased configurations. To my knowledge aliased configurations only exist in the ACPI spec, there are no known platforms that ship this support in production. This clarity allows namespace-capacity alignment constraints around interleave-ways to be relaxed.

libnvdimm/security: Require nvdimm_security_setup_events() to succeed

2019-01-21T17:57:43+00:00

The following warning: ACPI0012:00: security event setup failed: -19 ...is meant to capture exceptional failures of sysfs_get_dirent(), however it will also fail in the common case when security support is disabled. A few issues: 1/ A dev_warn() report for a common case is too chatty 2/ The setup of this notifier is generic, no need for it to be driven from the nfit driver, it can exist completely in the core. 3/ If it fails for any reason besides security support being disabled, that's fatal and should abort DIMM activation. Userspace may hang if it never gets overwrite notifications. 4/ The dirent needs to be released. Move the call to the core 'dimm' driver, make it conditional on security support being active, make it fatal for the exceptional case, add the missing sysfs_put() at device disable time.

libnvdimm/security: Quiet security operations

2018-12-22T19:35:41+00:00

The security implementation is too chatty. For example, the common case is that security is not enabled / setup, and booting a qemu configuration currently yields: nvdimm nmem0: request_key() found no key nvdimm nmem0: failed to unlock dimm: -126 nvdimm nmem1: request_key() found no key nvdimm nmem1: failed to unlock dimm: -126 Convert all security related log messages to debug level.

acpi/nfit, libnvdimm: Add unlock of nvdimm support for Intel DIMMs

2018-12-14T01:54:13+00:00

Add support to unlock the dimm via the kernel key management APIs. The passphrase is expected to be pulled from userspace through keyutils. The key management and sysfs attributes are libnvdimm generic. Encrypted keys are used to protect the nvdimm passphrase at rest. The master key can be a trusted-key sealed in a TPM, preferred, or an encrypted-key, more flexible, but more exposure to a potential attacker.
