ALSA: seq: Relax __free() variable declarations

2026-02-26T23:00:56+00:00

[ Upstream commit 13bc5c5394b22fd0a0585733bbbd9266159a840c ] We used to have a variable declaration with __free() initialized with NULL. This was to keep the old coding style rule, but recently it's relaxed and rather recommends to follow the new rule to declare in place of use for __free() -- which avoids potential deadlocks or UAFs with nested cleanups. Although the current code has no bug, per se, let's follow the new standard and move the declaration to the place of assignment (or directly assign the allocated result) instead of NULL initializations. Note that there is a remaining __free() with NULL initialization; it's because of the non-trivial code conditionally assigning the data.

ALSA: seq: core: Use automatic cleanup of kfree()

2024-02-23T09:57:31+00:00

There are common patterns where a temporary buffer is allocated and freed at the exit, and those can be simplified with the recent cleanup mechanism via __free(kfree). No functional changes, only code refactoring. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240222111509.28390-10-tiwai@suse.de

ALSA: seq: Add ioctls for client UMP info query and setup

2023-05-23T10:11:36+00:00

Add new ioctls for sequencer clients to query and set the UMP endpoint and block information. As a sequencer client corresponds to a UMP Endpoint, one UMP Endpoint information can be assigned at most to a single sequencer client while multiple UMP block infos can be assigned by passing the type with the offset of block id (i.e. type = block_id + 1). For the kernel client, only SNDRV_SEQ_IOCTL_GET_CLIENT_UMP_INFO is allowed.

ALSA: seq: Introduce SNDRV_SEQ_IOCTL_USER_PVERSION ioctl

2023-05-23T10:11:19+00:00

For the future extension of ALSA sequencer ABI, introduce a new ioctl SNDRV_SEQ_IOCTL_USER_PVERSION. This is similar like the ioctls used in PCM and other interfaces, for an application to specify its supporting ABI version. The use of this ioctl will be mandatory for the upcoming UMP support.

ALSA: seq: fix passing wrong pointer in function call of compatibility layer

2016-10-12T18:09:36+00:00

This commit is a fix for Linux 4.9-rc1. In former commit, a function call of compatibility layer for ALSA sequencer core was obsoleted by an alternative. Although, the alternative gets a pointer to kernel stack due to mis-programming. As a result, ALSA sequencer core unexpectedly refers over kernel stack.

ALSA: seq: obsolete change of address limit

2016-08-22T09:11:05+00:00

Former commits change existent functions so that they don't handle data in kernel space. Copying from/to userspace is done outside of the functions, thus no need to change address limit of running task. This commit obsoletes get_fs()/set_fs() and applies corresponding changes.

ALSA: seq: add an alternative way to handle ioctl requests

2016-08-22T09:11:03+00:00

ALSA sequencer is designed with two types of clients; application and kernel. Operations for each ioctl command should handle data in both of user space and kernel space, while current implementation just allows them to handle data in user space. Data in kernel space is handled with change of address limit of running tasks. This commit adds a new table to map ioctl commands to corresponding functions. The functions get data in kernel space. Helper functions to operate kernel and application clients seek entries from the table. Especially, the helper function for application is responsible for coping from user space to kernel space or vise versa. Signed-off-by: Takashi Sakamoto Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai

ALSA: seq: Fix snd_seq_call_port_info_ioctl in compat mode

2016-01-18T13:39:13+00:00

This reverts one hunk of commit ef44a1ec6eee ("ALSA: sound/core: use memdup_user()"), which replaced a number of kmalloc followed by memcpy with memdup calls. In this case, we are copying from a struct snd_seq_port_info32 to a struct snd_seq_port_info, but the latter is 4 bytes longer than the 32-bit version, so we need to separate kmalloc and copy calls.

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

2010-03-30T13:02:32+00:00

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.
