Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL arguments

2026-02-22T04:03:00+00:00

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split over multiple lines. I only did the ones that are easy to verify the resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next line. Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial. So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed' scripts. The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want whitespace cleanup anyway. 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

media: dvb-usb: pctv452e: move snd/rcv len check before kmalloc

2025-11-04T12:31:02+00:00

syzbot reported a uninit-value in pctv452e_i2c_msg. [1] When the snd_len or rcv_len check fails and jumps to failed, buf is uninitialized, triggering the uninit-value issue. Move the snd/rcv length check before kmalloc, and return -EINVAL directly if the condition is met.

media: dvb-usb: dtv5100: fix out-of-bounds in dtv5100_i2c_msg()

2025-10-14T13:07:36+00:00

rlen value is a user-controlled value, but dtv5100_i2c_msg() does not check the size of the rlen value. Therefore, if it is set to a value larger than sizeof(st->data), an out-of-bounds vuln occurs for st->data. Therefore, we need to add proper range checking to prevent this vuln.

media: cxusb: no longer judge rbuf when the write fails

2025-04-25T13:14:31+00:00

syzbot reported a uninit-value in cxusb_i2c_xfer. [1] Only when the write operation of usb_bulk_msg() in dvb_usb_generic_rw() succeeds and rlen is greater than 0, the read operation of usb_bulk_msg() will be executed to read rlen bytes of data from the dvb device into the rbuf. In this case, although rlen is 1, the write operation failed which resulted in the dvb read operation not being executed, and ultimately variable i was not initialized.

media: dvb-usb: Constify struct i2c_algorithm

2025-02-21T09:33:12+00:00

'struct i2c_algorithm' are not modified in these drivers. Constifying this structure moves some data to a read-only section, so increase overall security, especially when the structure holds some function pointers. More over, dvb_usb_device_properties->i2c_algo seems to only be copied in i2c_adapter->algo, which is already a "const struct i2c_algorithm". This is done in dvb_usb_i2c_init() On a x86_64, with allmodconfig, as an example: Before: ====== text data bss dec hex filename 30571 5916 36 36523 8eab drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb/af9005.o After: ===== text data bss dec hex filename 30667 5852 36 36555 8ecb drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb/af9005.o Signed-off-by: Christophe JAILLET Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil
