ALSA: control: Use safer strscpy() instead of strcpy()

2025-07-11T07:51:08+00:00

Use a safer function strscpy() instead of strcpy() for copying to arrays. Only idiomatic code replacement, and no functional changes. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250710100727.22653-2-tiwai@suse.de

Merge tag 'asoc-fix-v6.12-rc1' of https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/sound into for-linus

2024-10-02T19:29:16+00:00

ASoC: Fixes for v6.12 A bunch of fixes here that came in during the merge window and the first week of release, plus some new quirks and device IDs. There's nothing major here, it's a bit bigger than it might've been due to there being no fixes sent during the merge window due to your vacation.

ALSA: silence integer wrapping warning

2024-10-01T12:56:40+00:00

This patch doesn't change runtime at all, it's just for kernel hardening. The "count" here comes from the user and on 32bit systems, it leads to integer wrapping when we pass it to compute_user_elem_size(): alloc_size = compute_user_elem_size(private_size, count); However, the integer over is harmless because later "count" is checked when we pass it to snd_ctl_new(): err = snd_ctl_new(&kctl, count, access, file); These days as part of kernel hardening we're trying to avoid integer overflows when they affect size_t type. So to avoid the integer overflow copy the check from snd_ctl_new() and do it at the start of the snd_ctl_elem_add() function as well.

[tree-wide] finally take no_llseek out

2024-09-27T15:18:43+00:00

no_llseek had been defined to NULL two years ago, in commit 868941b14441 ("fs: remove no_llseek") To quote that commit, At -rc1 we'll need do a mechanical removal of no_llseek - git grep -l -w no_llseek | grep -v porting.rst | while read i; do sed -i '/\/d' $i done would do it. Unfortunately, that hadn't been done. Linus, could you do that now, so that we could finally put that thing to rest? All instances are of the form .llseek = no_llseek, so it's obviously safe.

ALSA: core: Drop superfluous no_free_ptr() for memdup_user() errors

2024-09-02T08:21:41+00:00

We used to wrap with no_free_ptr() for the return value from memdup_user() with errors where the auto cleanup is applied. This was a workaround because the initial implementation of kfree auto-cleanup checked only NULL pointers. Since recently, though, the kfree auto-cleanup checks with IS_ERR_OR_NULL() (by the commit cd7eb8f83fcf ("mm/slab: make __free(kfree) accept error pointers")), hence those workarounds became superfluous. Let's drop them now. Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20240902075246.3743-1-tiwai@suse.de Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai

ALSA: control: Optimize locking for look-up

2024-08-09T12:24:55+00:00

For a fast look-up of a control element via either numid or name matching (enabled via CONFIG_SND_CTL_FAST_LOOKUP), a locking isn't needed at all thanks to Xarray. OTOH, the locking is still needed for a slow linked-list traversal, and that's rather a rare case. In this patch, we reduce the use of locking at snd_ctl_find_*() API functions, and switch from controls_rwsem to controls_rwlock for avoiding unnecessary lock inversions. This also resulted in a nice cleanup, as *_unlocked() version of snd_ctl_find_*() APIs can be dropped. snd_ctl_find_id_mixer_unlocked() is still left just as an alias of snd_ctl_find_id_mixer(), since soc-card.c has a wrapper and there are several users. Once after converting there, we can remove it later. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20240809104234.8488-3-tiwai@suse.de

ALSA: control: Rename ctl_files_rwlock to controls_rwlock

2024-08-09T12:24:55+00:00

We'll re-use the existing rwlock for the protection of control list lookup, too, and now rename it to a more generic name. This is a preliminary change, only the rename of the struct field here, no functional changes. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20240809104234.8488-2-tiwai@suse.de

ALSA: control: Fix leftover snd_power_unref()

2024-08-01T06:42:42+00:00

One snd_power_unref() was forgotten and left at __snd_ctl_elem_info() in the previous change for reorganizing the locking order.
