From 3a2c4d55e32ad65efebdb6de44eef3bfa08bb49d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kees Cook Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2026 15:31:14 -0700 Subject: treewide: refresh kmalloc_obj() conversions This is another run of the Coccinelle script for converting kmalloc() family of allocations to kmalloc_obj() via the existing rules in scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci This catches both the set of kmalloc() uses added since the first kmalloc_obj() conversions in v7.0 and adds a large group missed in the first pass due to Coccinelle not interacting well with the cleanup.h scoped_...() family of macros[1]. I worked around this with spatch's "--macro-file" argument to a file with all the scoped_...() macros mapped to Coccinelle's YACFE_ITERATOR[2] as that was the closest viable control flow indicator I could find. Build tested allmodconfig on x86, arm64, arm, loongarch, mips, powerpc, riscv, and s390 with no new warnings.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +===================== +Devicetree Changesets +===================== + +A Devicetree changeset is a method which allows one to apply changes +in the live tree in such a way that either the full set of changes +will be applied, or none of them will be. If an error occurs partway +through applying the changeset, then the tree will be rolled back to the +previous state. A changeset can also be removed after it has been +applied. + +When a changeset is applied, all of the changes get applied to the tree +at once before emitting OF_RECONFIG notifiers. This is so that the +receiver sees a complete and consistent state of the tree when it +receives the notifier. + +The sequence of a changeset is as follows. + +1. of_changeset_init() - initializes a changeset + +2. A number of DT tree change calls, of_changeset_attach_node(), + of_changeset_detach_node(), of_changeset_add_property(), + of_changeset_remove_property, of_changeset_update_property() to prepare + a set of changes. No changes to the active tree are made at this point. + All the change operations are recorded in the of_changeset 'entries' + list. + +3. of_changeset_apply() - Apply the changes to the tree. Either the + entire changeset will get applied, or if there is an error the tree will + be restored to the previous state. The core ensures proper serialization + through locking. An unlocked version __of_changeset_apply is available, + if needed. + +If a successfully applied changeset needs to be removed, it can be done +with of_changeset_revert(). -- cgit v1.3.1
