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

media: v4l2-isp: Rename block_info to block_type_info

2025-11-14T14:48:49+00:00

The v4l2_isp_params_block_info structure contains validation information that apply to a block -type- and not only to a specific ISP block implementation. Clarify this by renaming v4l2_isp_params_block_info in v4l2_isp_params_block_type_info and update the documentation and the users of v4l2-isp accordingly.

media: meson-g2d: Drop unneeded v4l2_m2m_get_vq() NULL check

2025-10-17T09:31:14+00:00

The v4l2_m2m_get_vq() function never returns NULL. The check was probably intended to catch invalid format types, but that's not needed as the V4L2 core picks the appropriate VIDIOC_G_FMT ioctl handler based on the format type, so the type can't be incorrect. Drop the unneeded return value check and, as the return value is not used for other purposes and the function has no side effect, the function call as well.

media: Reset file->private_data to NULL in v4l2_fh_del()

2025-08-13T06:33:44+00:00

Multiple drivers that use v4l2_fh and call v4l2_fh_del() manually reset the file->private_data pointer to NULL in their video device .release() file operation handler. Move the code to the v4l2_fh_del() function to avoid direct access to file->private_data in drivers. This requires adding a file pointer argument to the function. Changes to drivers have been generated with the following coccinelle semantic patch: @@ expression fh; identifier filp; identifier release; type ret; @@ ret release(..., struct file *filp, ...) { <... - filp->private_data = NULL; ... - v4l2_fh_del(fh); + v4l2_fh_del(fh, filp); ...> } @@ expression fh; identifier filp; identifier release; type ret; @@ ret release(..., struct file *filp, ...) { <... - v4l2_fh_del(fh); + v4l2_fh_del(fh, filp); ... - filp->private_data = NULL; ...> } @@ expression fh; identifier filp; identifier release; type ret; @@ ret release(..., struct file *filp, ...) { <... - v4l2_fh_del(fh); + v4l2_fh_del(fh, filp); ...> } Manual changes have been applied to Documentation/ to update the usage patterns, to drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-fh.c to update the v4l2_fh_del() prototype and reset file->private_data, and to include/media/v4l2-fh.h to update the v4l2_fh_del() function prototype and its documentation.

media: Set file->private_data in v4l2_fh_add()

2025-08-13T06:33:39+00:00

All the drivers that use v4l2_fh and call v4l2_fh_add() manually store a pointer to the v4l2_fh instance in file->private_data in their video device .open() file operation handler. Move the code to the v4l2_fh_add() function to avoid direct access to file->private_data in drivers. This requires adding a file pointer argument to the function. Changes to drivers have been generated with the following coccinelle semantic patch: @@ expression fh; identifier filp; identifier open; type ret; @@ ret open(..., struct file *filp, ...) { <... - filp->private_data = fh; ... - v4l2_fh_add(fh); + v4l2_fh_add(fh, filp); ...> } @@ expression fh; identifier filp; identifier open; type ret; @@ ret open(..., struct file *filp, ...) { <... - v4l2_fh_add(fh); + v4l2_fh_add(fh, filp); ... - filp->private_data = fh; ...> } Manual changes have been applied to Documentation/ to update the usage patterns, to drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-fh.c to update the v4l2_fh_add() prototype set file->private_data, and to include/media/v4l2-fh.h to update the v4l2_fh_add() function prototype and its documentation.

media: Replace file->private_data access with custom functions

2025-08-13T06:33:30+00:00

Accessing file->private_data manually to retrieve the v4l2_fh pointer is error-prone, as the field is a void * and will happily cast implicitly to any pointer type. Replace all remaining locations that read the v4l2_fh pointer directly from file->private_data and cast it to driver-specific file handle structures with driver-specific functions that use file_to_v4l2_fh() and perform the same cast. No functional change is intended, this only paves the way to remove direct accesses to file->private_data and make V4L2 drivers safer. Other accesses to the field will be addressed separately.
