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

drm: Account property blob allocations to memcg

2026-01-16T10:22:03+00:00

DRM_IOCTL_MODE_CREATEPROPBLOB allows userspace to allocate arbitrary-sized property blobs backed by kernel memory. Currently, the blob data allocation is not accounted to the allocating process's memory cgroup, allowing unprivileged users to trigger unbounded kernel memory consumption and potentially cause system-wide OOM. Mark the property blob data allocation with GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT so that the memory is properly charged to the caller's memcg. This ensures existing cgroup memory limits apply and prevents uncontrolled kernel memory growth without introducing additional policy or per-file limits.

drm/atomic: add max_size check to drm_property_replace_blob_from_id()

2026-01-14T00:18:31+00:00

The function drm_property_replace_blob_from_id() allows checking whether the blob size is equal to a predefined value. In case of variable-size properties (like the gamma / degamma LUTs) we might want to check for the blob size against the maximum, allowing properties of the size lesser than the max supported by the hardware. Extend the function in order to support such checks.

drm/drm_property: make replace_property_blob_from_id a DRM helper

2023-12-13T20:09:53+00:00

Place it in drm_property where drm_property_replace_blob and drm_property_lookup_blob live. Then we can use the DRM helper for driver-specific KMS properties too. Reviewed-by: Harry Wentland Reviewed-by: Liviu Dudau Signed-off-by: Melissa Wen Acked-by: Maxime Ripard Signed-off-by: Alex Deucher

drm: property: Replace strncpy() with strscpy_pad()

2021-10-07T02:42:13+00:00

strncpy() is widely regarded as unsafe due to the fact that it may leave the destination string without a nul-termination when the source string size is too large. When compiling the kernel with W=1, the gcc warns about this: drivers/gpu/drm/drm_property.c: In function ‘drm_property_create’: drivers/gpu/drm/drm_property.c:130:2: warning: ‘strncpy’ specified bound 32 equals destination size [-Wstringop-truncation] 130 | strncpy(property->name, name, DRM_PROP_NAME_LEN); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There are three occurrences of strncpy() in drm_property.c. None of them are actually unsafe, as the very next line forces nul-termination of the destination buffer. The warning is thus a false positive, but adds noise to the kernel log. It can easily be silenced by using strscpy_pad() instead. Do so. One of the three occurrences, in drm_property_add_enum(), fills a char array that is later copied to userspace with copy_to_user() in drm_mode_getproperty_ioctl(). To avoid leaking kernel data, strscpy_pad() is required. Similarly, a second occurrence, in drm_mode_getproperty_ioctl(), copies the string to an ioctl data buffer that isn't previously zero'ed, to strscpy_pad() is also required. The last occurrence, in drm_property_create(), would be safe to replace with strscpy(), as the destination buffer is copied to userspace with strscpy_pad(). However, given that this isn't in a hot path, let's avoid future data leaks in case someone copies the whole char array blindly. Signed-off-by: Laurent Pinchart Reviewed-by: Daniel Vetter

The hardened usercpy code is too paranoid ever since commit 6a30afa8c1fb ("uaccess: disallow > INT_MAX copy sizes") Code itself should have been fine as-is.

drm: drop use of drmP.h in drm/*

2019-05-27T16:07:03+00:00

The use of the drmP.h header file is deprecated. Remove use from all files in drm/* so people do not look there and follow a bad example. Build tested allyesconfig,allmodconfig on x86, arm etc. Including alpha that is as always more challenging than the rest.
