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-mem2mem: Don't copy frame flags in v4l2_m2m_buf_copy_metadata()

2025-10-17T09:31:16+00:00

The v4l2_m2m_buf_copy_metadata() function takes a boolean copy_frame_flags argument. When true, it causes the function to copy the V4L2_BUF_FLAG_KEYFRAME, V4L2_BUF_FLAG_BFRAME and V4L2_BUF_FLAG_PFRAME flags from the output buffer to the capture buffer. There is no use cases in any upstream driver for copying the flags. KEY/P/B frames are properties of the bitstream buffer in some formats. Once decoded, this is no longer a property of the video frame and should be discarded. It was considered useful to know if an uncompressed frame was decoded from a KEY/P/B compressed frame, and to preserve that information if that same uncompressed frame was passed through another M2M device (e.g. a scaler). However, the V4L2 documentation makes it clear that the flags are meant for compressed frames only. Drop the copy_frame_flags argument from v4l2_m2m_buf_copy_metadata(). The change to drivers was performed with the following Coccinelle semantic patch: @@ expression src; expression dst; expression flag; @@ - v4l2_m2m_buf_copy_metadata(src, dst, flag); + v4l2_m2m_buf_copy_metadata(src, dst); include/media/v4l2-mem2mem.h and drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-mem2mem.c have been updated manually.

media: vim2m: Drop unneeded v4l2_m2m_get_vq() NULL check

2025-10-17T09:31:15+00:00

The v4l2_m2m_get_vq() function never returns NULL. In the set format handler, the check may have been intended to catch invalid format types, but that's not needed as the V4L2 core picks the appropriate VIDIOC_S_FMT ioctl handler based on the format type, so the type can't be incorrect. In the get format handler, the return value is not used for any purpose other than the NULL check, which was therefore probably intended to catch invalid format types. That's not needed for the same reason as in the set format handler. Drop the unneeded return value checks and, as the function has no side effect, the unneeded function call as well.

media: vim2m: remove unused CLIP macro

The CLIP macro, which was used to clamp color component values to the [0, 255] range, is no longer used anywhere in the vim2m driver. Remove it to clean up the code and avoid confusion.

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.

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.

media: Replace file->private_data access with file_to_v4l2_fh()

2025-08-13T06:33:25+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 with usage of the file_to_v4l2_fh() function. The change was generated manually. 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.

media: vim2m: Add parametized support for multiplanar API

2025-04-25T13:14:26+00:00

Add support for the mulitiplaner API. The device can now act as either a multi-planar or a single-planar device depending on a module parameter, similar to the way vivid behaves. Multiplanar support was added by implementing the appropate try/get/set mplane functions, and by modifying the queue_setup() and buf_prepare() functions to handle multiple planes. Implementation was inspired by vivid. Signed-off-by: Matthew Majewski Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil
