Convert 'alloc_flex' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument

2026-02-22T01:09:51+00:00

This is the exact same thing as the 'alloc_obj()' version, only much smaller because there are a lot fewer users of the *alloc_flex() interface. As with alloc_obj() version, this was done entirely with mindless brute force, using the same script, except using 'flex' in the pattern rather than 'objs*'. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

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

Input: include export.h in modules using EXPORT_SYMBOL*()

2025-08-21T19:00:59+00:00

A number of modules in the input subsystem use EXPORT_SYMBOL() and friends without explicitly including the corresponding header . While the build currently succeeds due to this header being pulled in transitively, this is not guaranteed to be the case in the future. Let's add the explicit include to make the dependencies clear and prevent future build breakage. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov

Input: ff-core - make use of __free() cleanup facility

Annotate allocated memory with __free(kfree) to simplify the code and make sure memory is released appropriately. Tested-by: Marek Szyprowski Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241107071538.195340-3-dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov

Input: ff-core - convert locking to guard notation

2024-12-17T21:58:45+00:00

Use guard() and scoped_guard() notation instead of explicitly acquiring and releasing spinlocks and mutexes to simplify the code and ensure that all locks are released properly. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241107071538.195340-2-dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov

Input: ff-core - prefer struct_size over open coded arithmetic

2024-04-30T21:04:31+00:00

This is an effort to get rid of all multiplications from allocation functions in order to prevent integer overflows [1][2]. As the "ff" variable is a pointer to "struct ff_device" and this structure ends in a flexible array: struct ff_device { [...] struct file *effect_owners[] __counted_by(max_effects); }; the preferred way in the kernel is to use the struct_size() helper to do the arithmetic instead of the calculation "size + count * size" in the kzalloc() function. The struct_size() helper returns SIZE_MAX on overflow. So, refactor the comparison to take advantage of this. This way, the code is more readable and safer. This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle, and audited and modified manually.

Input: ff-core - correct magnitude setting for rumble compatibility

2021-12-07T07:24:03+00:00

When converting a rumble into a periodic effect, for compatibility, the magnitude is effectively calculated using: magnitude = max(strong_rubble / 3 + weak_rubble / 6, 0x7fff); The rumble magnitudes are both u16 and the resulting magnitude is s16. The max is presumably an attempt to limit the result of the calculation to the maximum possible magnitude for the s16 result, and thus should be a min. However in the case of strong = weak = 0xffff, the result of the first part of the calculation is 0x7fff, meaning that the min would be redundant anyway, so simply remove the current max.
