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

HID: elo: Revert USB reference counting

2022-02-17T13:14:41+00:00

Commit 817b8b9c539 ("HID: elo: fix memory leak in elo_probe") introduced memory leak on error path, but more importantly the whole USB reference counting is not needed at all in the first place, as the driver itself doesn't change the reference counting in any way, and the associated usb_device is guaranteed to be kept around by USB core as long as the driver binding exists.

HID: elo: fix memory leak in elo_probe

2022-01-24T08:03:21+00:00

When hid_parse() in elo_probe() fails, it forgets to call usb_put_dev to decrease the refcount. Fix this by adding usb_put_dev() in the error handling code of elo_probe().

HID: check for valid USB device for many HID drivers

2021-12-02T14:36:18+00:00

Many HID drivers assume that the HID device assigned to them is a USB device as that was the only way HID devices used to be able to be created in Linux. However, with the additional ways that HID devices can be created for many different bus types, that is no longer true, so properly check that we have a USB device associated with the HID device before allowing a driver that makes this assumption to claim it.

HID: elo: update the reference count of the usb device structure

2021-08-20T12:22:28+00:00

Use usb_get_dev() to increment the reference count of the usb device structure in order to avoid releasing the structure while it is still in use. And use usb_put_dev() to decrement the reference count and thus, when it will be equal to 0 the structure will be released. Signed-off-by: Salah Triki Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina

HID: elo: clear BTN_LEFT mapping

2017-11-24T13:40:23+00:00

ELO devices have one Button usage in GenDesk field, which makes hid-input map it to BTN_LEFT; that confuses userspace, which then considers the device to be a mouse/touchpad instead of touchscreen. Fix that by unmapping BTN_LEFT and keeping only BTN_TOUCH in place. Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina

HID: elo: kill not flush the work

2016-06-01T12:08:17+00:00

Flushing a work that reschedules itself is not a sensible operation. It needs to be killed. Failure to do so leads to a kernel panic in the timer code. CC: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Oliver Neukum Reviewed-by: Benjamin Tissoires Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina
