ALSA: core: Mark some variables as __ro_after_init

2026-05-25T07:31:40+00:00

Some variables in the 'ALSA/core' are initialized only during the init phase in the '__init' functions and never changed. So, mark them as __ro_after_init to reduce the attack surface.

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

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using git grep -l '\

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

ALSA: hrtimer: Avoid direct access to hrtimer clockbase

2025-09-09T10:27:18+00:00

The field timer->base->get_time is a private implementation detail and should not be accessed outside of the hrtimer core. Switch to the equivalent helper.

ALSA: hrtimer: Replace deprecated strcpy() with strscpy()

2025-06-30T12:08:07+00:00

strcpy() is deprecated; use strscpy() instead. No functional changes intended. Link: https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues/88 Signed-off-by: Thorsten Blum Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250630105723.1703-2-thorsten.blum@linux.dev Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai

ALSA: Switch to use hrtimer_setup()

2025-02-10T08:26:31+00:00

hrtimer_setup() takes the callback function pointer as argument and initializes the timer completely. Replace hrtimer_init() and the open coded initialization of hrtimer::function with the new setup mechanism. Patch was created by using Coccinelle.

ALSA: hrtimer: Use guard() for locking

2024-02-28T14:01:20+00:00

We can simplify the code gracefully with new guard() macro and co for automatic cleanup of locks. Only the code refactoring, and no functional changes. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240227085306.9764-5-tiwai@suse.de

ALSA: timer: Replace tasklet with work

2020-09-09T16:32:52+00:00

The tasklet is an old API that should be deprecated, usually can be converted to another decent API. In ALSA core timer API, the callbacks can be offlined to a tasklet when a flag is set in the timer backend. It can be achieved gracefully with a work queued in the high-prio system workqueue. This patch replaces the usage of tasklet in ALSA timer API with a simple work. Currently the tasklet feature is used only in the system timer and hrtimer backends, so both are patched to use the new flag name SNDRV_TIMER_HW_WORK, too.
