HID: uhid: convert to hid_safe_input_report()

2026-06-10T18:32:07+00:00

Commit 0a3fe972a7cb ("HID: core: Mitigate potential OOB by removing bogus memset()"), added a check in hid_report_raw_event() to reject reports if the received data size is smaller than expected. This was intended to prevent OOB errors by no longer allowing zeroing-out of shorter reports due to the lack of buffer size information. However, this leads to regressions in hid_report_raw_event(), where shorter than expected reports are rejected, even though their buffers are sufficiently large to be zero-padded. To solve this issue, Benjamin introduced a safer alternative in commit 206342541fc8 ("HID: core: introduce hid_safe_input_report()"), which forwards the buffer size and allows hid_report_raw_event() to safely zero-pad the data. Convert uhid to use hid_safe_input_report() and pass UHID_DATA_MAX as the buffer size. This prevents the reported regressions [1], allowing hid core to zero-pad the shorter reports safely as expected.

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

[tree-wide] finally take no_llseek out

2024-09-27T15:18:43+00:00

no_llseek had been defined to NULL two years ago, in commit 868941b14441 ("fs: remove no_llseek") To quote that commit, At -rc1 we'll need do a mechanical removal of no_llseek - git grep -l -w no_llseek | grep -v porting.rst | while read i; do sed -i '/\/d' $i done would do it. Unfortunately, that hadn't been done. Linus, could you do that now, so that we could finally put that thing to rest? All instances are of the form .llseek = no_llseek, so it's obviously safe.

HID: uhid: replace deprecated strncpy with strscpy

2023-11-30T21:38:50+00:00

`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces. A suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2] due to the fact that it guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer without unnecessarily NUL-padding. Furthermore, let's make sure `hid->xyz` and `ev->u.create2.xyz` are the same size at compile time to prevent silent truncation. With these changes, it is abundantly clear what the intent and behavior of the code is -- We are getting a string to string copy with NUL-termination and no truncation.

HID: uhid: Over-ride the default maximum data buffer value with our own

2023-02-23T10:52:05+00:00

The default maximum data buffer size for this interface is UHID_DATA_MAX (4k). When data buffers are being processed, ensure this value is used when ensuring the sanity, rather than a value between the user provided value and HID_MAX_BUFFER_SIZE (16k).

uaccess: remove CONFIG_SET_FS

2022-02-25T08:36:06+00:00

There are no remaining callers of set_fs(), so CONFIG_SET_FS can be removed globally, along with the thread_info field and any references to it. This turns access_ok() into a cheaper check against TASK_SIZE_MAX. As CONFIG_SET_FS is now gone, drop all remaining references to set_fs()/get_fs(), mm_segment_t, user_addr_max() and uaccess_kernel(). Acked-by: Sam Ravnborg # for sparc32 changes Acked-by: "Eric W.
