+ if (ZERO_OR_NULL_PTR(cma_kobjs)) + goto out; + + do { + cma = &cma_areas[i]; + cma->kobj = &cma_kobjs[i];Does cma really need are pointer to cma_kobj?Do you mean something like this? struct cma { .. .. struct kobject *kobj; }; Then, how could we we make kobject dynamic model? We need to get struct cma from kboj like below. static ssize_t alloc_pages_success_show(struct kobject *kobj, struct kobj_attribute *attr, char *buf) { struct cma_kobject *cma_kobj = container_of(kobj, struct cma_kobject, kobj); struct cma *cma = cma_kobj->cma; return sysfs_emit(buf, "%llu\n", atomic64_read(&cma->nr_pages_succeeded)); } So kobj should be not a pointer in the container struct. Am I missing your point? Otherwise, it would be great if you suggest better idea.
I meant that cma_kobj->cma is okay, but cma->kobj wasn't really used anywhere since struct cma can't be released. I.e. we could write kobject_put(&cma->kobj->kobj) as kobject_put(&cma_kobjs[i].kobj); But since we won't use the array anymore and maybe will get back to use the cma_stat, then it will be fine to add the pointer.
