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

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using git grep -l '\

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: move from strlcpy with unused retval to strscpy

2022-08-18T22:44:08+00:00

Follow the advice of the below link and prefer 'strscpy' in this subsystem. Conversion is 1:1 because the return value is not used. Generated by a coccinelle script.

Input: synaptics_usb - do not rely on input_dev->users

2018-03-17T18:05:18+00:00

If the device is unused and suspended, a call to open will cause the device to autoresume through the call to usb_autopm_get_interface(). input_dev->users is already incremented by the input subsystem, therefore this expression will always be evaluated to true: if ((input_dev->users || (synusb->flags & SYNUSB_IO_ALWAYS)) && usb_submit_urb(synusb->urb, GFP_NOIO) < 0) { retval = -EIO; } The same URB will then be fail when resubmitted in synusb_open(). Introduce synusb->is_open to keep track of the state instead. Signed-off-by: Marcus Folkesson Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov

Input: synaptics_usb - fix deadlock in autosuspend

2018-03-17T18:05:18+00:00

usb_autopm_get_interface() that is called in synusb_open() does an autoresume if the device is suspended. input_dev->mutex used in synusb_resume() is in this case already taken by the input subsystem and will cause a deadlock. Signed-off-by: Marcus Folkesson Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov

Input: synaptics_usb - constify usb_device_id

2017-08-08T03:10:19+00:00

usb_device_id are not supposed to change at runtime. All functions working with usb_device_id provided by work with const usb_device_id. So mark the non-const structs as const. Signed-off-by: Arvind Yadav Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov

Input: add missing POINTER / DIRECT properties to a bunch of drivers

2014-09-08T21:58:12+00:00

I've not done a full audit of all mouse drivers, I noticed these ones were missing the POINTER property while working on the POINTING_STICK property. Signed-off-by: Hans de Goede Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov

Input: add INPUT_PROP_POINTING_STICK property

2014-09-08T21:58:11+00:00

It is useful for userspace to know that there not dealing with a regular mouse but rather with a pointing stick (e.g. a trackpoint) so that userspace can e.g. automatically enable middle button scrollwheel emulation. It is impossible to tell the difference from the evdev info without resorting to putting a list of device / driver names in userspace, this is undesirable. Add a property which allows userspace to see if a device is a pointing stick, and set it on all the pointing stick drivers.

Input: delete non-required instances of include

2014-01-07T07:23:57+00:00

None of these files are actually using any __init type directives and hence don't need to include . Most are just a left over from __devinit and __cpuinit removal, or simply due to code getting copied from one driver to the next. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov
