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

firewire: core: use cleanup function to release cached configuration ROM

2025-10-20T12:00:38+00:00

When returning from read_config_rom() function, the allocated buffer and the previous buffer for configuration ROM should be released. The cleanup function is useful in the case. This commit uses the cleanup function to remove goto statements. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251020115810.92839-1-o-takashi@sakamocchi.jp Signed-off-by: Takashi Sakamoto

firewire: core: handle device quirk of TASCAM FW-1884/FW-1804/FW-1082

2025-10-18T03:58:56+00:00

TASCAM FW-1884/FW-1804/FW-1082 is too lazy to repspond to asynchronous request at S400. The asynchronous transaction often results in timeout. This is a problematic quirk. This commit adds support for the quirk. When identifying the new quirk flag, then the transaction speed is configured at S200.

firewire: core: determine transaction speed after detecting quirks

2025-10-18T03:58:55+00:00

Current implementation determines the maximum transaction speed supported by the target device after reading bus information block of configuration ROM. The read operations for root directory block are then performed at the determined speed. However, some devices have quirks that cause issues when transactions are performed at the determined speed. In the first place, all devices are required to support the lowest speed (S100) and must respond successfully to any read request within the configuration ROM space. Therefore it is safe to postpone speed determination until the entire configuration ROM has been read. This commit moves the speed determination after reading root directory.

firewire: core: handle device quirk of MOTU Audio Express

2025-10-13T14:07:25+00:00

A commit 3a93d082bacf ("ALSA: firewire-motu: add support for MOTU Audio Express") describes a quirk of MOTU Audio Express. The device returns acknowledge packet with 0x10 as the pending state of any types of asynchronous request transaction. It is completely out of specification. This commit implements handling for that device-specific quirk. The quirk is detected after reading the root directory of configuration ROM. When processing the acknowledge code in 1394 OHCI AT context event handler, firewire-ohci module seeks the device instance of destination node by traversing device hierarchy. If the device has the quirk, the acknowledge code is replaced with the standard code. The 1394 OHCI AT context events occur for outgoing asynchronous request packets. The device traversal is safe since no new request initiators exist after the fw_card_instance has been invalidated.

firewire: core: detect device quirk when reading configuration ROM

2025-10-13T14:07:24+00:00

Every time the bus manager runs, the cached configuration ROM content of the IRM device is investigated to detect device-specific quirks. This detection can be performed in advance when reading the configuration ROM. This commit adds device quirk flags to the fw_device structure, and initializes them after reading the bus information block of the configuration ROM. The quirk flags are immutable once the configuration ROM has been read. Although they are likely accessed concurrently only by the bus manager, this commit ensures safe access by preventing torn writes and reads using the WRITE_ONCE()/READ_ONCE() macros.

firewire: core: use helper macro to compare against current jiffies

The pattern of calling either time_before64() or time_after64() with get_jiffies_64() can be replaced with the corresponding helper macros. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250915024232.851955-3-o-takashi@sakamocchi.jp Signed-off-by: Takashi Sakamoto
