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

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

usb: idmouse: fix an uninit-value in idmouse_open

2022-09-27T08:37:09+00:00

In idmouse_create_image, if any ftip_command fails, it will go to the reset label. However, this leads to the data in bulk_in_buffer[HEADER..IMGSIZE] uninitialized. And the check for valid image incurs an uninitialized dereference. Fix this by moving the check before reset label since this check only be valid if the data after bulk_in_buffer[HEADER] has concrete data. Note that this is found by KMSAN, so only kernel compilation is tested.

USB: idmouse: fix interface sanity checks

2019-12-10T12:11:22+00:00

Make sure to use the current alternate setting when verifying the interface descriptors to avoid binding to an invalid interface. Failing to do so could cause the driver to misbehave or trigger a WARN() in usb_submit_urb() that kernels with panic_on_warn set would choke on.

USB: idmouse: clean up runaway white space

2019-11-07T10:16:49+00:00

Drop space between function identifiers and opening parenthesis, which was no longer even used consistently within the driver. Signed-off-by: Johan Hovold Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20191105103638.4929-4-johan@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

USB: idmouse: drop redundant open-count check from release

2019-11-07T10:16:49+00:00

The open count will always be exactly one when release is called, so drop the redundant sanity check. Signed-off-by: Johan Hovold Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20191105103638.4929-3-johan@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

USB: idmouse: simplify disconnect handling

2019-11-07T10:16:48+00:00

Since commit d4ead16f50f9 ("USB: prevent char device open/deregister race") core prevents further calls to open() after usb_deregister_dev() returns so there's no need to use the interface data for synchronisation. This effectively reverts commit 54d2bc068fd2 ("USB: fix locking in idmouse") with respect to the open-disconnect race. Note that the driver already uses a present flag to suppress I/O post disconnect (even if all USB I/O take place at open).

USB: misc: Remove redundant license text

2017-11-04T10:55:38+00:00

Now that the SPDX tag is in all USB files, that identifies the license in a specific and legally-defined manner. So the extra GPL text wording can be removed as it is no longer needed at all. This is done on a quest to remove the 700+ different ways that files in the kernel describe the GPL license text. And there's unneeded stuff like the address (sometimes incorrect) for the FSF which is never needed. No copyright headers or other non-license-description text was removed.

USB: add SPDX identifiers to all remaining files in drivers/usb/

2017-11-04T10:48:02+00:00

It's good to have SPDX identifiers in all files to make it easier to audit the kernel tree for correct licenses. Update the drivers/usb/ and include/linux/usb* files with the correct SPDX license identifier based on the license text in the file itself. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This work is based on a script and data from Thomas Gleixner, Philippe Ombredanne, and Kate Stewart.

USB: misc: remove unneeded MODULE_VERSION() usage

2017-07-22T13:56:52+00:00

MODULE_VERSION is useless for in-kernel drivers, so just remove all usage of it in the USB misc drivers. Along with this, some DRIVER_VERSION macros were removed as they are also pointless.
