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

ALSA: seq: Fix KCSAN data-race warning at snd_seq_fifo_poll_wait()

2025-09-17T12:14:12+00:00

snd_seq_fifo_poll_wait() evaluates f->cells without locking after poll_wait(), and KCSAN doesn't like it as it appears to be a data-race. Although this doesn't matter much in practice as the value is volatile, it's still better to address it for the mind piece. Wrap it with f->lock spinlock for avoiding the potential data race.

ALSA: seq: Clean up fifo locking with guard

2025-08-29T09:52:36+00:00

Yet more cleanup, now for seq_fifo.c about its refcount calls; the manual refcount calls (either snd_use_lock_*() or snd_seq_fifo_lock()) are replaced with guard(snd_seq_fifo). Only code refactoring, and no behavior change. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250827080520.7544-8-tiwai@suse.de

ALSA: seq: fifo: Use guard() for locking

2024-02-28T14:01:21+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/20240227085306.9764-13-tiwai@suse.de

ALSA: seq: Fix assignment in if condition

2021-06-09T15:30:26+00:00

There are lots of places doing assignments in if condition in ALSA sequencer core, which is a bad coding style that may confuse readers and occasionally lead to bugs. This patch is merely for coding-style fixes, no functional changes. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210608140540.17885-57-tiwai@suse.de Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai

ALSA: seq: Fix potential concurrent access to the deleted pool

2019-08-25T07:31:10+00:00

The input pool of a client might be deleted via the resize ioctl, the the access to it should be covered by the proper locks. Currently the only missing place is the call in snd_seq_ioctl_get_client_pool(), and this patch papers over it.

ALSA: seq: Remove superfluous irqsave flags

2019-04-09T15:22:46+00:00

spin_lock_irqsave() is used unnecessarily in various places in sequencer core code although it's pretty obvious that the context is sleepable. Remove irqsave and use the plain spin_lock_irq() in such places for simplicity. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai

ALSA: seq: Align temporary re-locking with irqsave version

2019-04-09T15:22:46+00:00

In a few places in sequencer core, we temporarily unlock / re-lock the pool spin lock while waiting for the allocation in the blocking mode. There spin_unlock_irq() / spin_lock_irq() pairs are called while initially spin_lock_irqsave() is used (and spin_lock_irqrestore() at the end of the function again). This is likely OK for now, but it's a bit confusing and error-prone. This patch replaces these temporary relocking lines with the irqsave variant to make the lock/unlock sequence more consistently.
