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

scsi: core: Fix legacy /proc parsing buffer overflow

2023-07-31T19:39:39+00:00

(lightly modified commit message mostly by Linus Torvalds) The parsing code for /proc/scsi/scsi is disgusting and broken. We should have just used 'sscanf()' or something simple like that, but the logic may actually predate our kernel sscanf library routine for all I know. It certainly predates both git and BK histories. And we can't change it to be something sane like that now, because the string matching at the start is done case-insensitively, and the separator parsing between numbers isn't done at all, so *any* separator will work, including a possible terminating NUL character. This interface is root-only, and entirely for legacy use, so there is absolutely no point in trying to tighten up the parsing. Because any separator has traditionally worked, it's entirely possible that people have used random characters rather than the suggested space. So don't bother to try to pretty it up, and let's just make a minimal patch that can be back-ported and we can forget about this whole sorry thing for another two decades. Just make it at least not read past the end of the supplied data.

scsi: core: Introduce a new list for SCSI proc directory entries

2022-10-18T03:17:09+00:00

Instead of using scsi_host_template members to track the SCSI proc directory entries, track these entries in a list. This changes the time needed for looking up the proc dir pointer from O(1) into O(n). This is considered acceptable since the number of SCSI host adapter types per host is usually small (less than ten). This change has been tested by attaching two USB storage devices to a qemu host: $ grep -aH . /proc/scsi/usb-storage/* /proc/scsi/usb-storage/7: Host scsi7: usb-storage /proc/scsi/usb-storage/7: Vendor: QEMU /proc/scsi/usb-storage/7: Product: QEMU USB HARDDRIVE /proc/scsi/usb-storage/7:Serial Number: 1-0000:00:02.1:00.0-6 /proc/scsi/usb-storage/7: Protocol: Transparent SCSI /proc/scsi/usb-storage/7: Transport: Bulk /proc/scsi/usb-storage/7: Quirks: SANE_SENSE /proc/scsi/usb-storage/8: Host scsi8: usb-storage /proc/scsi/usb-storage/8: Vendor: QEMU /proc/scsi/usb-storage/8: Product: QEMU USB HARDDRIVE /proc/scsi/usb-storage/8:Serial Number: 1-0000:00:02.1:00.0-7 /proc/scsi/usb-storage/8: Protocol: Transparent SCSI /proc/scsi/usb-storage/8: Transport: Bulk /proc/scsi/usb-storage/8: Quirks: SANE_SENSE This commit prepares for constifying most SCSI host templates.

scsi: core: Fail host creation if creating the proc directory fails

bus_find_device: Unify the match callback with class_find_device

2019-06-24T03:22:31+00:00

There is an arbitrary difference between the prototypes of bus_find_device() and class_find_device() preventing their callers from passing the same pair of data and match() arguments to both of them, which is the const qualifier used in the prototype of class_find_device(). If that qualifier is also used in the bus_find_device() prototype, it will be possible to pass the same match() callback function to both bus_find_device() and class_find_device(), which will allow some optimizations to be made in order to avoid code duplication going forward. Also with that, constify the "data" parameter as it is passed as a const to the match function. For this reason, change the prototype of bus_find_device() to match the prototype of class_find_device() and adjust its callers to use the const qualifier in accordance with the new prototype of it.
