FUSE backing files only need a stable snapshot of the current credentials
for later backing-file I/O. prepare_creds() allocates a mutable copy and
can fail, but this code never modifies or commits the result.
Use get_current_cred() instead and store it as a const pointer. This
matches the rest of the backing-file helpers and avoids an unnecessary
allocation and failure path.

fuse: remove #include "fuse_i.h" from dev.c and dev_uring.c2026-06-15T12:06:18+00:00Miklos Szeredimszeredi@redhat.com2026-04-01T07:02:14+00:00urn:sha1:c0f817320d6afc8c609400e235f6f16636ed871b
Move a couple of function declarations from fuse_i.h to dev.h and
fuse_dev_i.h.
Add fuse_conn_get_id() helper that retrieves the connection ID (s_dev) from
fuse_conn.
With the exception of cuse.c, virtio_fs.c and trace.c source files now
either include fuse_i.h or fuse_dev_i/dev_uring_i.h but not both.

Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument2026-02-22T01:09:51+00:00Linus Torvaldstorvalds@linux-foundation.org2026-02-22T00:37:42+00:00urn:sha1:bf4afc53b77aeaa48b5409da5c8da6bb4eff7f43
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using
git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'
to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.
Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.
For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types2026-02-21T09:02:28+00:00Kees Cookkees@kernel.org2026-02-21T07:49:23+00:00urn:sha1:69050f8d6d075dc01af7a5f2f550a8067510366f
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 *".

fuse: move the backing file idr and code into a new source file2025-09-25T14:06:02+00:00Darrick J. Wongdjwong@kernel.org2025-09-16T00:27:11+00:00urn:sha1:c4331e19a6b0f9b8de5921cc2f3253e572945564
iomap support for fuse is also going to want the ability to attach
backing files to a fuse filesystem. Move the fuse_backing code into a
separate file so that both can use it.
